Ned

With rich source material, Ned should be hilarious, but unfortunately distinct lack of belly laughs and wafer thin story ensure this falls into the mediocre comedy category-it's simply no where near funny enough. The cast is certainly energetic, particularly Felix Williamson, but biggest liability is Ned himself. Abe Forsythe is hammy,unfunny and not particularly ingratiating in the lead. Ned has some good production values from an obviously low budget- at least it didn't cost as much as 'Reckless Kelly' but even at a lean 90 mins it feels like a lot longer.

Rating: 4 out of 10
