      Audience Member Excellent movie with an outstanding cast! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie with an outstanding cast! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Wasn't Very Impressed. It Was Pretty Dry & Not Very Innovative Really..Just Seemed To Be A Series Of Events Stringed Together... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Jimeoin is the extra, whose life not only feels inconsequential - it is! A lot of Australian comedians got to eat for a year because of this film, as it stars most of them. Unfortunately the story is rather weak & doesn't hold your interest for long. The extra finds love amongst his own kind, which is sweet. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Just when I thought I could not love this man any more, I see this movie! Being a big fan of his, I do not know why I didn't see it sooner. Jimeoin's brilliant sense of humour runs right through the course of the movie, and the familiar Aussie comic actors are everywhere, including of course Jimeoin's sidekick Bob Franklin, who does a surprisingly good job playing the shady businessman. There is something about this movie that I just 'get'- I think it is one of those movies that you will either know exactly where they are coming from, or just not mesh with it at all. Thankfully, I was the former. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Average movie - starts out well, but tails off in a mix of timelines.
