The BBQ

The son asks about Captain Cooks "ancestors " in Australia.

The BBQ offers a great laugh and escape into a nice little story. It was nice to take my nephew to a film that didn't involve sex violence or swearing. Unlike a couple of narcissistic egotistical moronic critics who obviously missed the point - this film does not take its self seriously it provides a great 90 minutes of fun and escapism.

Was really hoping for a good wholesome laugh but alas I fell asleep about one third the way through. To be fair the actors are a good sort but the script just fell short for me. There is also my deep longing desire to see a Kenny 2 which is no doubt also biased my critique. Sorry Shane but a 2 outa 10 from me.

Bought this off Google play the other day for $3 and I so wish I could get my money back. This is another shocking Aussie movie. Another reviewer says is a down right embarrassment for Australians and I 100% agree. It didn't help that the night before I had watched the great Aussie film The Castle. How far the mighty Australian film industry has falling when we continue to get junk like this.

All the actors were terrible in this too but it was more the script they were working with then the lack of talent. Manu who i can't stand at the best of times is particularly annoying. Magda Szubanski's butcher character wasn't any better and even Shane Jacobson couldn't rescue this film.

I watched the BBQ today and thought that it was a very funny movie , along with the Castle.
