Ned

Nice HORSE MATE! Given its cast, budget and how young the director is this film deserves a lot more attention then what it gets. I laughed myself silly and had to watch it again and again! Abe Forsythe who has truly impressed me by wearing both the shoes of the director and the lead actor should be extremely proud of himself! The film reaches the standard of other great spoof films like scary movie and I believe should be given so much more of an opportunity to hit the international screens. The comedy in this film is far better structured then movies like "date movie" which was just plan stupid. My hat goes off to the cast, which delivered so much energy into the film and truly made it stand out among Aussie films. Well done! hands down a great film. High recommended for a great time and a good laugh!

I just seen Ned for the first time. Ned is a spoof on the famous outlaw Ned Kelly. I found it to be a very funny film. The sets look amazing considering the film was made for such a small budget and such a young director. The acting is also great Felix Williamson stole the show. The montage where he meets Ned is just fantastic. I wish people would give small Aussie films more of a chance. This film was never meant to be Lantana. It didn't have any star power either, like Ned Kelly with Heath Ledger in it. I will watch Ned maybe 20 times in my life. I won't ever watch Ned Kelly again. So if you haven't seen Ned check it out its great for a laugh.

I decided to watch Ned after repeatedly watching his satire on the Matrix, titled "Computer Boy". Although Ned isn't the greatest comedy out I have to say I quite enjoyed this film as it is consistent Abe Forsythe's style of humour ( I loved the cameo from "Hey Dad"). A good film to go watch when it is out on DVD.

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

One of our absolute favourites with one-liners and inappropriate quotes that my friends and I have been using for 18 years!

"Look at the c__t on the pony.." "it's a horse.."

I even named my Mustang 'Muffy' as a tribute to the prettiest Pony in a movie!
