Very true Spunky Star, I just watched this and laughed all the way through it. I'm white Australian, Anglo-Saxon, British descent, etc, etc and I loved this. I've seen quite a lot of Nick Giannopoulos' work over the years (The Wog Boy, Wogs Out Of Work, Acropolis Now, etc) and he's always extracted a laugh (or three) out of me.
It's never about political correctness or anything, it always seems to be about the differences between Greek Australians and Anglo Australians and Nick G has been masterful at exposing, highlighting and sending up those differences.
I'm a Melbourne Boy and I agree that sometimes you need a Melbourne sense of humour to get a film like this. Or at least an idea of what makes Melbourne tick.
This may not be a film that translates too well outside of Australia.
When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now!
