Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 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. Rated: 6/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Lori Hoffman Atlantic City Weekly Hilarious pseudo-documentary Rated: 4/5 Dec 7, 2006 Full Review Mark R.

User 5 Absolute cinematic masterpiece, wish I could live in the alternate universe where all documentaries are like this Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A cinematic masterpiece and informative as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A hilarious, highly informative Australian documentary that begs the question: whose the most destructive? the toads, or the humans trying to kill them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
