Trailer was cringeworthy and terrible


Saw the trailer for this while seeing a much better film and i have to say this looked like complete and utter garbage. I was with my partner who is American and i had to assure her not all Aussie movies are complete trash like this. It's sad to see Aussie film with such an identity crisis as it clearly has atm if we are now aiming for 12 year old level toilet humour in our films.

I was thinking back to 2005 when three Aussie films came out: The Proposition, Look Both Ways and Little Fish. My god, are those films distant memories when we are now releasing stuff like "Spin out". Very sad state of affairs indeed

Australian films haven't had a good script in a long time. Combine that with ham fisted romance, its a recipe for a disaster.

Sorry to say I live where this was filmed. I begged my mates not to be extras in this film but alas, they did. Yep, looks like pure garbage like 99% of other Aussie films

Charlie & Boots was really good. So was Strange Bedfellows that both starred Paul Hogan. Another Aussie Film that came out last was Mad Max: Fury Road! This looks very sub standard...

It makes A Few Best Men look like an Oscar winner. And they wisely excluded Lincoln Lewis from the trailer. I have no idea who he sleeps with to get roles in film and TV, he is exactly the same in every part

Am currently doing a write up on the Weekend's box office, stumbled across this one down chart, and just knew it would be another half baked Aussie effort.

But come on we are doing some excellent movies still, problem is they aren't getting promoted as the various Film organisations are all over movies like this that no one else is remotely interested in.
