Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

A Brilliant Conflict

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Yup, I was wise enough not to watch more than 20 minutes of this before doing the math and checking IMDB.

I've never taken the time to leave a review on here but this movie is just so bad I had to mention it. Amazing cast...and that's about it. Not funny and just damn weird! So disappointed with it..had to keep watching incase it got better...but it just kept getting worse!

The 70s.Fondue, Beaches, and the Sexual Revolution aftermath.Enjoy being brought back to a simpler time of 8mm film childhood fun, and watch it mercifully and lovingly roasted with uncanny accuracy.Swinging Safari is a hilarious painfully depiction of the decade before mandatory seatbelt laws, when toys had small unsafe parts, and people wanted to emulate Evil Knievel and experiment sexually. Stephen Elliott's irrepressibly absurd tour of everything 70's charges straight through 3 neighboring families interpersonal relations while seemingly intersecting all the hilarious earmarks of 70's culture.With a little intelligence it's easy to follow the dark comedic narrative. And if you like biting comedy, safely ignore the few negative reviews here that simply aren't sharp enough to follow the overarching narrative tying this loving homage to the 70s together.

Truly if you want to see a funny, over-the-top, cleverly irreverent film - this isn't it. In the cinema I was in not a single person laughed at any point in this film. That should tell you something. By the time they are making a piss-joke (for the third time) that you could see coming from a mile off, my partner and I were done with this film. It lacks any coherent plot, the characters are largely unsympathetic, and the irreverence that it's aiming for is to stupid and self-conscious to work. Grossness just isn't particularly funny or clever the way poo-jokes cease to be funny beyond three years of age.Making politically incorrect and homophobic jokes just isn't particularly clever or funny any more. But I could have forgiven that if this movie had any sense of purpose. It doesn't. The ending is nonsensical. I couldn't wait for it to finish. Worst Australian film I've ever seen. Definitely up for the worst film of the year. Hard to imagine anyone could make a worse film than this.
