Blistering performances.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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 movie was the terrible love child of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Hills have Eyes II. There is only one way to prove that you have watched it all the way to the end, if you watched it, you know what I mean. The acting was believable, the characters are so bizarre that it had to be an act, although there possibly are people who are that strange. Unfortunately, this movie has given me a stereotype of Australia that I won't be able to get out of my head any time soon. I will probably watch again in the future, if only to prove to myself that I have an peculiar and unusual view of entertainment and to see how many people I can get to watch it. Everyone should watch it at least once.

Welcome to Woop Woop is a unique comedy, so refreshingly different when the typical film comedy nowadays is so vulgar and predictable. This film is by no means wholesome, as it is sexy as all get out. There are many bizarre characters and plot twists mostly set in a small isolated town in Australia. Its attributes include a frankly remarkable use of Rogers and Hammerstein music as its background score: the songs are remade, very hip yet respectful to their source. If this movie is similar to anything, perhaps it is the musical Li'l Abner since there is a sexy blonde (a very appealing Susie Porter, unknown to American audiences) a handsome, dark-haired man (Jonathon Schaech in a vastly entertaining performance that should have made him a big star. He is extraordinarily good-looking and his comedic delivery is quite good. Think of a male supermodel with a great sense of humor) as well as oddly raggedy dressed townsfolk with weird Dogpatch-like hairstyles. Rod Taylor is both scary and touching as the tyrannical leader and there are small roles placed by Miss Edna's Barry Humphries and a young, muscular bodybuilder , Con Demetriou, who was briefly Princess Di's personal trainer, and an almost unrecognizable Rachel Griffiths. There is also a cameo by Gilligan's Island's Tina Louise. This movie is a little gem and should be seen for a special, funny, weirdly good time.

I just saw the movie (between 1.40 and 3.10 a.m.) as it was broad casted on Dutch television (SBS6). Weird, entertaining, funny and quite philosophic; especially at this hour of the night ;-). I was very surprised to find only really BAD reviews of Woop Woop at the internet. It seems my choice in movies/books etc is not the mass-opinion.This Monday I'm buying it, it's at least number 6 in my 'all time favourites' list :-) 'The usual suspects' & 'Lost boys' are some other examples of great movies (I think) and those are (in average) really well reviewed, so it's not that I only like weird ones. Go see Woop Woop! It's fun ;-)
