Dan X What a great hidden Holiday film with an evergreen message! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/21 Full Review Audience Member Filled with typical stereotypes that are a common point of humour in Australia. In addition, the film reminded me how much of Australias culture is about tearing down others. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Aussie movie! You probably won't get it unless you're Australian but it's a great comical look at a serious issue. Sprinkled with laughs but all the while keeping the serious undertones. I'll probably watch this again at some stage! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review wayne m Down Under is a film that will make you laugh and make you think. It's far from perfect, but it's a valid attempt at tackling a tricky subject. Set the day after the infamous Cronulla riots we follow two groups of people who are basically as hopeless as each other. One are a group of Anglos from the Shire and the other a set of Lebanese men. Both are set on some sort of revenge but are too inept to do anything absolutely concrete about it. This film shines a light on the foibles of both, with some genuine laughs along the way. There are some cheap laughs which holds the film back but also some revealing moments that will make you think. It's a film that has its flaws but it's a subject worth tackling. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kevin w Racial hatred and bigotry down in Australia's most sophisticated center casts shade over the whole country, one would think, but the writer/director here endeavors to put the whole thing under some lighthearted shenanigans of misdirected youth blanket, apologizing for the misogyny. Further, the real bad guy of the film is boorishly gay. I felt as if I were talking to a cracker apologizing for slavery while summing up the legitimacy of the Confederate flag as a symbol of freedom. An opportunity thrown away, and a waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Kong K no one does black humour like the aussies. political incorrectness galore!
