I went to see this film with great expectation on the strength of my "pome" mate's intoxicated account of how funny it had been for him; but also after what I read here about it - My wife said she did not get this impression from our Sunday paper's review... I still had to see it! Well it did not work for me, to put it plainly I had a very mild time watching it. Just now I had another peek at some comments and one did highlight exactly what I resented. Clichés, corny jokes, unnecessary stuff, etc. I ticked the spoiler box in the hope I spoil it enough for you to wait for it to come on the little box. Yes I did get a laugh or two but sometimes I did start to laugh because I needed to but the laughter fizzed to nothing in my throat as it did not happen. Yes, why Subanski, to sell the movie? Beside what you see of her (no, not how much) is what has been shown on Aussie TV for months. Perhaps the Kat'n Kim fans would get more out of it than I did, meanwhile she's found a new avenue with some "biggest looser" weigh watching commercials company - it was so gross and intended to be gross! G Rush is so over the top but obviously it worked for some. I did enjoy revisiting the like of what it was during my early days in school. When I read from someone that it had more than "Australia" about Australia it made me feel like I need to go on see my eye specialist in the very near future! I, may be wrongly, feel it does not really foster the Aboriginal cause, although I can appreciate it's a light hearted shot at it. Yes I have too seen many films with aboriginal theme of which Samson and Delilah was a little to heavy for me although I would think it was a better film I perhaps feel less aches with BND. Hmm to each its own!
