Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
hyped garbage
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Crackerjack has a wonderful cast of Australian actors covering a very Australian subject of a sporting club struggling to survive and remain relevant in Australia. This film is an absolute gem from start to finish. The standout is Mick Molloy cast as the lead in a role which is perfect for his self effacing , lets have some fun demeanor. He is the gel that pulls the film along and takes you for the ride as the other legends of Australian film and TV play their parts to perfection. The film delivers a strong message that the places and people you take for granted today may not be there tomorrow and the world will be a poorer place for it. So like Jack , if the opportunity arises to keep something worthwhile going, take the challenge and be part of something that can be really great.
Coming from Oz I probably shouldn't say it but I find a lot of the local movies lacking that cohesive flow with a weak storyline. This comedy lacks in nothing. Great story, no overacting, no melodrama, just brilliant comedy as we know Oz can do it. Do yourself a favour and laugh till you drop.
Normally (and I do mean normally) Australian movie releases are poor, at best. Crackerjack would, without fail, be one of the best Australian movie I've seen in a long long time, and probably the funniest movie I've seen all year !
A very comical but down to earth look into the behind the scene workings of an Australian bowling club. The way they deal with various problems such as takeovers, memberships and general running of the club, not to mention the car parking dilemma was well scripted.
