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.

Addison M Not a perfect movie; yet, an endearing and quirky romp through the dark comedy of an isolated outback cult. Difficult to categorize (like "Harold and Maude" or "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" or that ilk), which explains the poor box office and the generally tepid reviews by the contemporaneous media -- which has since been proven premature, since it is now considered a cult classic. It is in the same category of films as "Muriel's Wedding;" however, Woop Woop is the more complete and better film (probably because it doesn't aim as high). But it is a can't miss! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review 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!
