🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a grotesque satire of cultural cringe, relying on the vulgar comic strip legacy of Barry Humphries. It explores the collision of ocker Australian innocence with British pretension through a series of bawdy, beer-soaked misadventures.

What lingers after the crude gags is a surprisingly sharp, if dated, examination of national identity and expatriate life, played with unapologetic gusto. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Bruce Beresford

Best Watched

With a cold beer in hand and a tolerance for politically incorrect, slapstick humor.
