Excellent film, genuinely funny, great caricature of the australian 'bloke' and heart felt premise.
Some plot points a little iffy, but generally a good effort.

I live in America and my stores dont relli have any of erics movies except for BHD and HULK and FINDING NEMO.. they dont even have chooper so i was wondering hwo good this movie is cause then ill definatley buy it on Ebay.

Save your money. I wouldn't even rent this movie. I spent money at the cinema to see this movie, and now I wish I didn't. It's not as bad as Thunderstruck, but I would give this movie 6 out of 10.
sharereally?? omg.. is it atleast funny?? cause i have seen my share of really horrible movies.. so i might at least rent it .. but only if its like funny or pretty dramatic.. and is the acting bad in it?

The acting is okay. It's just that the movie overall makes you wish that you hadn't seen it in the first place.
shareYou're an idiot, this was a great film, Australian comedy had started to die until the Nugget was released.

really interested in getting hold of this movie and some "Eric" episodes. Chopper was a right laugh and I never knew Mr Banadinovitch was a comediann at heart.. watta star! Any clues on the release (UK, US AUS) of these DVDs?

It wasn't a BAD movie, but it certainly wasn't very good either. It was good enough to keep me entertained, though, and I watched the whole thing. Good movie to veg out to.
My two main issues were:
1) They spent a lot of time in the beginning establishing "this is how this character acts," but not by portraying them as acting that way, but literally through a voice-over by the "eccentric" narrator. Now, while this is lazy scriptwriting, it could still be acceptable... except! The characters NEVER act that way AGAIN for the rest of the movie (or perhaps once or twice as a visual gag). After the narrator stops telling us about their unique personal quirks, they magically lose all personality traits and transform into "Generic bloke #1," "Generic bloke #2," and "Generic bloke #3." Thus, it goes from lazy scriptwriting to... just plain bad scriptwriting!
2) A lot of the humor is the sort where the characters are doing something that the audience knows is so incredibly stupid, that you have to wince and it's almost hard to watch. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but I personally don't enjoy that type of comedy so much. It does seem to be a very common comedic strategy in Aussie films, though, so... meh. I don't want judge peoples' personal tastes.
