Nice effects though.

Don't Believe the Hype

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

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

Was really hoping for a good wholesome laugh but alas I fell asleep about one third the way through. To be fair the actors are a good sort but the script just fell short for me. There is also my deep longing desire to see a Kenny 2 which is no doubt also biased my critique. Sorry Shane but a 2 outa 10 from me.

This movie is an embarrassment to Australia and all of its occupants. I kept watching hoping for something to improve, but was relieved to see the end. We have the capability to produce good quality films, unfortunately the bbq is one that lowers our overall score. I would be embarrassed to sit in the same room as any foreigner whilst watching this.

This is not a movie that is going to stress you intellectually. It's a bit of light-hearted and unpretentious Australian fun. The characters are a bit cookie cut and some of the acting is not Oscar award stuff but it does poke a bit of fun at a national passion and some of the pretentiousness of food preparations in today's super chef world. I didn't go expecting much but I enjoyed it for what it was. I think some of the critics who panned it were over-reading the point of the movie. That said I didn't appreciate the blatant advertising of stores and products in it though I recognise this is par for the course in many movies today.

The BBQIs this a good movie? Not a chance. Did I enjoy this movie? Bloody Oath I did. It's a redemption story. Daz who poisons the neighbourhood has to redeem himself and win his family back along the way. Full of puns, corny jokes and bad accents. 6.5/10 #NicksMiniReview
