Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
An Exercise In Nonsense
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Great film, the thugs in the scallop industry would love it. Although be careful of those red bellied black snakes. This is dizzy stuff folks. Tony Martin is a genius.Up there with The Castle, Short Bus and Meat Pie.Some of the scenes are comedy gold with the visual aspects great. Do yourself a favor and get this film on Video Disc or VHS.Martin uses Franklin's brilliant straight-faced delivery, to help keep things from getting too serious. The debutante also livens things up with the use two truly excellent sight-gags, one of which is a hilarious narrated recollection by Franklin's character.This film is good enough to even forgive the increasingly embarrassing number of times (four I think!) that the top of the boom mike can be seen in a couple of scenes. I don't think Mr. Martin will skip any more editing sessions for future projects! His raw talent, however, is plain to see. That, and the intelligence displayed in not trying to turn his debut film into more than it should be, has me looking forward to his next project.
If you like me are both Australian and love comedy this movie will be one of your favorites. Written by one of Australia's finest comedians, Tony Martin, this film explores the boundaries of comedy from hilarious characters to alternate slapstick. Also, it has so many great Aussie comedians and actors who it is a joy merely to see on screen. If this movie had more invested in advertising you would've already watched and written a review like this one. From the start the movie is hilarious with one of the greatest car scenes of all time and the unfortunate misguided zeal of the two protagonists. You won't stop laughing from then to the end. I've watched this film multiple times and got great joy from it, the world needs more Tony Martins!
For the intended movie goers of Bad Eggs....Be forewarned. It's a movie with highly course language used in it. The "F" word was used so many times that you become almost immune to it. But it does make you squirm a bit,... not for the faint hearted.
There are a number of Australian movies around that tend to play up the typical Australian bloke or "sheila" image which quite frankly, make me want to curl up and die in embarrassment. (One of the previews I saw with this movie does nothing to make me think otherwise, a movie called Take Away). Then there are movies like Bad Eggs.Bad Eggs tends not to try and have a laugh at us Aussies, rather, it aims (and for the most part, succeeds) in going for main stream comedy which could well work for international audiences.If you can get past the so called "acting"(they are mostly stand up comedians, not thespians)you may end up enjoying a very witty movie, which contains quite a few sight gags, which are very funny. (The one in which the security guard is watching a send up of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is quite hilarious)"Imagine what you could do, with that cash bonanza of $478 dollars".Even if you are not an Aussie, you should still find plenty to laugh at with this movie.This is without doubt "Champagne comedy"
