| NewsweekDavid AnsenWhile it obviously struck a deep chord in its homeland, here it's not much more than a light tap on the funny bone. The irrepressibly tacky Kerrigans make an amusing first impression, but the movie essentially has only one joke to offer. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsEric LurioThe humor grates a bit, but on the whole, it is tolerable. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisOne of the best films to ever come out of Australia! |
| Film Journal InternationalThom BennettA wonderful, fun film, complete with an unlikely hero willing to take on the world. |
| User ReviewBea HThe perfect example of Aussie humour - brilliant |
| User ReviewPeter FWhoever thought of this must have been an ideas man... |
| User ReviewDarren H"That's going straight to the pool room!" An absolute favourite...another brilliant Aussie film. |
| User ReviewMichael RThe best Aussie movie of all time! Its a true representation of Australian culture. The government should scrap the new Australian Citizenship test and make them watch this movie instead. |
| User ReviewKathi WSo quotable and as a result iconic. Others have copied the formula and failed. This hits all the right notes. Its close to home but all heart. |
| User ReviewAdam GYet another great movie. You got to watch it before it gets funny. |
