This movie was the terrible love child of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Hills have Eyes II. There is only one way to prove that you have watched it all the way to the end, if you watched it, you know what I mean. The acting was believable, the characters are so bizarre that it had to be an act, although there possibly are people who are that strange. Unfortunately, this movie has given me a stereotype of Australia that I won't be able to get out of my head any time soon. I will probably watch again in the future, if only to prove to myself that I have an peculiar and unusual view of entertainment and to see how many people I can get to watch it. Everyone should watch it at least once.

To really appreciate 'Welcome to Woop Woop', one has to relinquish two things: A traditional view of comedy, and any preference for politically correct representations of countries and their inhabitants. If you can do that, you are going to love this movie. Teddy is a good-looking swindler who seems to have New York conned and wired. When he loses the many expensive Australian birds (that he sells illegally) during a transaction, he takes off for Australia to follow them. All of this takes place during the credits, setting the story up to take place in Australia, where Teddy gives a ride to a gorgeous blonde. After a few days of a mini-romance, Teddy plans to drop her off and go about his business, but agrees to take her to the ocean first. It is at the beach that his companion lures Teddy into saying he loves her, and from there the plot develops into a hilarious, albeit kind of twisted, view of a tiny Australian community and their bizarre inhabitants. Welcome to Woop Woop has its funny moments, but a few dramatic ones, too. These are just dramatic enough to push the plot along but not so much as to overwhelm the comedic element. It eventually *does* become a love story, just not the unrequited one where the movie started. This aspect of the movie is incredibly well done, and isn't at all forced as love stories in black comedies often are. Welcome to Woop Woop doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewers. Its a fun, twisted comedy with unique characters and convincing actors to play them - not an Academy Award winning masterpiece. But it is definitely worth the hour and a half, and several more views, as well.

While it's not a musical, it's got a lot of music from Rogers and Hammerstein in it. It ranks up there with movies like Princess Bride and Office Space, that are classic films from the day they debut. There's a few interesting situations in this one, if you're easily offended, you might want to skip it, but for those who enjoy a little black comedy it's great. The summary doesn't do it justice.After leaving NY Teddy is on a trip across Australia to find himself. Instead, he finds love... Or love finds him, accosts him, and takes him back to Woop Woop, a town of odd balls in an anarchist society cut off from the real world. This movie of twists and turns will keep you laughing, crying (and maybe a little disgusted too.)

Its a character study, to be sure... but I liked it. I also liked Muriel's Wedding (which is a tremendous flick , both of which are full of relatively no name actors). From big red roo to "sockin' it to her" this is a pretty hilarious movie, and worth seeing once. I see the Aussie takes offense in his review, but as an American I could name a few that upset me. The story is basic... but it can be. Whats interesting is the characters. It's like some twisted family from Road Warrior meets Twilight Zone. Its been on late night recently, and thats the perfect time to see it. I'm not expecting to buy or see this film again... but its definitely worth seeing once. Its fun.
