The problem I noticed when I lived in Australia was Australians are very bias when it comes to Australian 'things'. Music and films that are, to the rest of the world watching/listening with open minds distinctively average, Australians seem to think are the best ever! You can notice that reading a lot of these reviews of 'Kenny' from Australians giving it 10/10 or 9/10...its good but its not that good. There are quite a few typical Australian jokes which having lived in Australia I found funny, but anyone having never been not maybe wont quite get it all! It is funny (Shane Jacobson's performance is priceless!), don't get me wrong I laughed just as much as the next man when Kenny takes his son to visit the miserable Granddad, but its an hour and a half long and the jokes get quite repetitive and wear pretty thin once your past the hour mark, and its not one of those films I found that funny the second time I saw it.
It is definitely worth checking out, but I think 7/10 is fair, its an enjoyable watch but don't expect to be blown away!
