Awesome Movie

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Straight to video? Straight to the bin. I think we are over these over stereotypical Australian characterisations and this trash should be the last film of this type inflicted on the rest of civilisation. What on earth persuaded some of the lead names to even consider this tripe?

I stumbled across this outrageous movie early one morning during a free weekend of HBO, and couldn't take my eyes off it. It was light and fluffy, but had a very subtle edge to it, thanks to a nuanced performance by the legendary Rod Taylor (who I did not recognize, at first). With some great pieces featuring classic showtunes, it had me guessing the entire time. I was should have known it was directed by the same person who did "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."Shot in the Australian Outback, it has the trademark humor of most movies from Down Under. Plus, you'll likely catch some notable cameos. I don't know why this doesn't get more airplay on some cable stations, and it seems largely forgotten, but hopefully that will change.Definitely catch this, if you can!

This is a movie that celebrates the bizarre. It has a decent main story to hold a few sub plots and a whole lot of strange together. This movie is not for the prudish or faint of heart as crude jokes about or references to incest, masturbation, sex organs, and coitus abound.But if you like me revel in the crude, Welcome this film takes you to fantastical place, and introduces you to a community of what can best be described as Aussie white trash, surviving in an outback village unlike anything you've ever imagined.If I had to compare this movie to other existing works Id say its kinda like Lost meets the Road Warrior if Trey Parker and Matt Stone had written it.

Its a character study, to be sure... but I liked it. I also liked Muriel's Wedding (which is a tremendous flick , both of which are full of relatively no name actors). From big red roo to "sockin' it to her" this is a pretty hilarious movie, and worth seeing once. I see the Aussie takes offense in his review, but as an American I could name a few that upset me. The story is basic... but it can be. Whats interesting is the characters. It's like some twisted family from Road Warrior meets Twilight Zone. Its been on late night recently, and thats the perfect time to see it. I'm not expecting to buy or see this film again... but its definitely worth seeing once. Its fun.
