Wog Boys Forever

Any fan of all things Nick G would surely expect that it's impossible to top the first Wog Boy - can't and won't ever be done as it was a unique piece for its time and resonates because of that fact.

The storyline of this film is as lightweight as the others were and that too is to be expected going in. These movies are about the humour and the moments, they aren't meant to make you think too much.

The only true criticism is that while the Wog BOYS are well cast and memorable - as they always have been - the rest of the cast is fairly forgettable at best and downright dreadful in some cases (particularly the ladies - Vinnie's wife, Raelene's daughter and the party his chick) It's a shame given Australia has so many awesome female actresses but ... then again... apart from the incredible Mary Coustas, many of the ladies associated with the "Wog" phenomena have been pretty dreadful.

Expect to be entertained, if this humour appeals, and expect that it's "more of the same" as opposed to anything "new". I laughed a great deal in a packed cinema with many others who were doing the same. Granted it was at a premiere but still... it's clearly worthwhile!

It definitely had some strong moments and good themes, but it's like this was the first draft of the script or something, and the good moments were not utilised to their maximum potential. The director used way too many shots that were half way between a close up and a medium close up. As Rowan Atkinson said, for comedy, you need to show things from a wide angle so that we can see all the actions from all the characters.

Sooshi Mango were clearly thrilled to be able to use some of their best gags in a feature film, and they were mostly very good. Nick Giannopoulos's acting was actually superb, and works so well with this style of humour.

Overall, strong moments and a few weak ones, but it did not reach its potential due to a lack of polishing and not great directing.

First off I have to say I am a huge supporter of home grown Australian cinema, its critical to a country's culture to maintain a health arts scene which includes making movies with its own voice. But this movie, despite best intentions, shows really only the worst. Its based on a racial stereotype which is very out of date. Fine - you went into the movie knowing that, so its acceptable, even though the entire cultural and racial stereotype is over-milked through the entire movie. What isn't acceptable is just how poor the script writing, direction and cinematography is. Its like this was written and shot by a 13 year old, full of staid gags which fall flat and are poorly timed - the whole 'Alexa' scene was just embarrassing. The plot was awful and made little sense, the acting was beyond wooden, the script was written by a gorilla. Come on Australia, surely you can do better than this.

The acting in this movie was so cringey. Honestly, you couldn't pick better actors? Monotone young bloke with no passion in his role (did this young bloke know someone in there or related? Not sure how he got that role. It is some of the worst acting I have ever seen), then some blokes who couldn't get into character trying to sound ocker. Overexagerrated it way too much in terms of the Australian acting and throwing wog around. Stupid times to bring in certain convos. E.g. The party bus.

Scriptwriter needs a new day job. The storyline was horrible. This missed the mark badly.

Sooshi Mango were the most entertaining of the lot, hence my rating of 2. Without them it's a 1.

Look...my grandsons....16 and 14 years old loved it!! But unfortunately for my self and all the other adults in the group..we were so disappointed!!! Where to start....it was a mish mash...terrible .Sooshi Mango..who we absolutely idolise could not save this movie. The LEMON TREE joke was absolutely ridiculous!! Terrible cameo from Derryn Hinch!! The whole movie was a major disaster!! Sorry!!!! We all went to watch this film with such high expectations. So many story lines going nowhere. What happened to the party bus people ...to his work colleagues.....too many to mention... Like I said....maybe the younger generation will love it....but it was a miss for us.
