This is the first review on any film I have ever written online. And the reason is that this is the worst Aussie film I have EVER seen in my entire life. Where do I even start with this? Firstly, I had to force myself to watch all the way through, as it was so truly awful that I kept going just to see if the stereotypes and frankly racist, anti-English theme continued throughout - well I can report that it does.In short, the evil English bosses sacked the hard-working Aussies without giving notice, didn't drink beer (never met a Brit who didn't drink before). cheated at cricket, were racist to the Indian character, and dreamed of "body line", which was presented as English cricket's finest hour.Not only was every aspect of this film dreadful, but it was frankly offensive. My mum is English and the people associated with this farce should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.Even if you are an insular, pommie-bashing Aussie who likes cricket, do yourself a favour and do something useful with 90 minutes - like boiling 30 eggs...instead of watching this mindless drivel.

Embarrassing.Between making great crime-dramas (eg Animal Kingdom, Snowtown), Australia makes some horrendously bad movies. Pretentious dramas (eg Jindabyne), low-brow comedies (eg the Wogboy) and its cousin, the intended-to-be-folksy-but-really-quite-stupid comedy. This is one of the latter.Watched this because it involved cricket, and almost immediately regretted it. It has some good moments - some cricket in-jokes (eg the Muralitharan = chucker observation and bowling a beer underarm to a New Zealander) and some other laugh-out-loud moments - but these are few and far between. This is seriously bad.Every stereotype is employed, every cliché abused in this farce. The writers and director could not have made the characters more of caricatures of Australians and English if they tried. The plot, for lack of a better word, is silly and contrived. It's as if they wanted to be as predictable and unoriginal as possible.Embarrassing to watch, especially if you're Australian. A movie made to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I love locally made low-budget movies so have watched my fair share. When I saw this was coming out, I had high hopes as it just sounded like another cult movie possibility. However when you compare this to Australian movies like Crackerjack and The Castle - it really doesn't cut the mustard for a 'low budget' movie. Felt they could've done a lot more with a national past time like backyard cricket and the movie was padded out with a weak storyline. The characters had no depth, the English ones were way over the top with their accents. I think this movie made me laugh once. You can probably tell I'm disappointed, that's because I am.
