Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 25, 2003 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Jun 1, 1998 Full Review Andrew F. Peirce The Curb I love Welcome to Woop Woop for its mania and madness, for Elliott's unbridled direction and decision making. For the manner that Jonathan Schaech, Susie Porter, and Rod Taylor, thrust themselves with vigour into their roles. Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Tara Judah In Film Australia Sure - it's dark and admittedly daft, but somewhere beneath its damaging depiction of the detritus of contemporary Australian culture lies a harsh historicality; an indubitable landscape, unpleasant and unforgiving. Jan 24, 2019 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Elliott's attempts at killer entertainment only result in the actors making utter fools of themselves and complete exhaustion on the part of the audience.

Art A quirky, funny film that is totally absurd. Definitely worth a look. Australia at its finest and its worst. Watch out for Big Red!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Love the movie and havnt seen in many years Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Unexpectedly fun movie with a decidedly "Aussie" style brought to us by Edward Elliot...Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun .. funny un PC grab a can of piss , some pretzels and have a laugh Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review lenny r Think of Guy Pearce's brain-explodingly, movie-ruiningly obnoxious character from Priscilla, then imagine an entire town full of people that obnoxious. That's what this movie is like. Bad. Bad. Just...bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
