5 out of 5 stars Classic Aussie humor   October 30, 2008
C. Crisafi (USA)
If you can follow clever, classic Aussie humor, this is a very funny movie.

I wish MORE Australian movies were available in N.American DVD format! I would buy all of them!

This is just a feel good happy comedy with a happy ending. Its one of those movies you watch just to be entertained and not have to put too much thought into. I bought it for the cast mainly, it features some of Australia's best comics such as Eric Bana, Dave O'Neil and Peter Moon and a couple of our best actors in Stephen Curry and Vince Colosimo. Also stars the very likeable Belinda Emmett (RIP - she will be missed) who sadly gave up acting when she got cancer. This probably wont appeal to international audiences as the jokes are very Australian. But if you are interested in seeing Eric Bana in a more comedic role, this would have to be his funniest role to date.


5 out of 5 stars Yet Another AWFUL Australian Comedy!(They Do Make Lots Of These!)   September 14, 2006

This movie pretends to offer 24 carats but is in fact "Fool's Gold". The story concerns 3 Council Workers by the unlikely names of Sue, Lotto and Wookie (!) who spend their weekends gold prospecting. They have the energy to do this because most Council workers I see are usually having a 'smoko" or leaning on a shovel. So these three "Aussie Battlers" find a HUGE nugget and instead of converting it to cash they bury it! These three losers have aspirations too and drive around in a gas gussling V8 Holden Statesman which could be why none of them have any cash although they always seem to find some money for beer down at the Pub. This is a very common trait amongst Australian men.Dissent amongst the ranks soon follows but in "True Blue, Dinki Di, She'll Be Right" Aussie Style everything turns out fine as these three losers discover the true value of mateship (friendship).I do grow weary of Australian Filmakers who think they have a monopoly on the concept of 'Friendship" as if nobody else in the world has any good buddies.Don't blame me. I am of German/ Hungarian Descent. I give this movie 5 stars because it does have some nice Aussie scenery in it.
