6/10
Features bizarrely comical music, an extremely close close-up on a biologist, a necrophiliac toad, and quite a bit of interesting information on the creatures. Go to Full Review

User 5 08/12/2023 Absolute cinematic masterpiece, wish I could live in the alternate universe where all documentaries are like this See more 10/10/2019 A cinematic masterpiece and informative as well. See more 11/18/2015 A hilarious, highly informative Australian documentary that begs the question: whose the most destructive? the toads, or the humans trying to kill them. See more 11/02/2015 This documentary may be one of the weirdest accounts of facts and history one can think of in film, but it is hysterical, it is interesting, and it is an imperative science lesson. See more 01/14/2013 Who could have thought a nature documentary about an environmental problem could have been so entertaining and such a rare treat. That is mostly because Lewis in making this documentary defies what are the conventionalities of its genre by telling of the true invasion of sex mad toads across Australia. To do so, he makes good use of facts but also entertaining recreations as well as a refreshingly comedic approach that makes an otherwise boring theme universally accessible and appealing.
