A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There have been many movies made that are unintelligent spoofs of other movies. Luckily a large portion of these go straight to DVD these days, but every now and then one slips through the crack and I end up watching it. I'm always disappointed. They are littered with obvious jokes, and often look like they were ghost written by Fran Drescher. Even though I am a huge fan of Tony Martin, I was just a little sceptical that his movie wasn't just to be a cheap spoof of old Aussie cop movies. After ten minutes I knew I was onto a winner and that this movie was able to make me laugh without resorting to cheap "skit show" type humour. This movie didn't go great in the cinema, but hopefully someone gives Tony Martin a big pile of cash to make another movie. It would be a shame for Australian cinema if he didn't make another movie. Tony Martin may not be a cinematic visionary, but he knows movies and comedies, that's more than I can say for most directors. I enjoyed this movie, and it was great to not see jokes coming. Long live bad eggs.

Comparisons to other Australian comedies are inevitable, so I'm not going to bother trying.It's not the funniest film of all time, but it's a great laid back Australian film with a few really good laughs. In my opinion, the biggest strength of Bad Eggs, and indeed Crackerjack which came before it, is that the characters (the good guys at least) are very likeable; you want them to come through in the end. That was the big failing with "Welcome to Woop Woop" - you just wanted that movie to end.The reason the film hasn't registered as a huge hit is because it switches from a surreal comedy to a thriller about forty minutes in. Mick Molloy and Bob Franklin begin the movie a bumbling duo, and then it very quickly gets serious.The performances for me were offhand and great - the characters are really a bunch of real Australians just arsing around and having some fun. If you couldn't get into this movie, I suggest you watch it again, and let yourself enjoy it. There's no shame in enjoying a couple of laughs.3 and a half stars

There are a number of Australian movies around that tend to play up the typical Australian bloke or "sheila" image which quite frankly, make me want to curl up and die in embarrassment. (One of the previews I saw with this movie does nothing to make me think otherwise, a movie called Take Away). Then there are movies like Bad Eggs.Bad Eggs tends not to try and have a laugh at us Aussies, rather, it aims (and for the most part, succeeds) in going for main stream comedy which could well work for international audiences.If you can get past the so called "acting"(they are mostly stand up comedians, not thespians)you may end up enjoying a very witty movie, which contains quite a few sight gags, which are very funny. (The one in which the security guard is watching a send up of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is quite hilarious)"Imagine what you could do, with that cash bonanza of $478 dollars".Even if you are not an Aussie, you should still find plenty to laugh at with this movie.This is without doubt "Champagne comedy"

While it doesn't quite match the best of Australian comedy, Bad Eggs is a fantastic second movie from Mick Molloy. The story here is complete and well thought out, a rarity for comedies like this.Mick Molloy, Judith Lucy and Bob Franklin all played superb roles, never slipping out of character while their individual comic genius kept us laughing. Special mention must go to Alan Brough for his part as Northey, he owns the screen every time he's on and some of the best laughs are his alone.All up a great addition to Australian comedy, and another success for an aussie comics transfer to the big screen. Well done Molloy. 8/10.
