Barry McKenzie is a die-hard Aussie who is sent to England by his family, accompanied by his eccentric aunt Edna Everage. Loud-mouthed, beer-crazy Bazza encounters a totally alien culture and becomes embroiled in a series of strange vicissitudes, from being pressured to marry the unattractive daughter of an aristocratic-but-penniless family to being kidnapped by a group of hippies.

delysid d 05/17/2020 if only we could go back to those days See more 06/20/2018 Best Aussie comedy of all time See more 02/04/2017 Lewd, crude, boorish, and at times downright piss funny! Bazza's adventure in 'Pommyland' is Barry Humphries' idea of the extreme Aussie tourist. Littered with rhyming slang that couldn't even be interpreted in Dickensian London, it's one of the first true examples of the emerging 'Ozploitation' genre. See more 05/21/2014 good one from down under See more 06/08/2011 Silly, childish, irreverent humour, playing to all the stereotypes. Not without laughs, & pretty much what you'd expect. Still watchable so probably a classic of its time & genre. See more 06/04/2010 It gets two stars for Dame Edna's (Barry Humphries in one of many roles) joke about the spaghetti to her stuck up English hosts and having the bloke who sung the original Neighbours theme tune in the lead role. Technically inept on so many levels, this (seminal?) Australian farce leaves a lot to be desired and some the jokes seems very very dated indeed. t See more Read all reviews
