I guess you would probably have to be Australian to understand some of the clever cultural jokes in this film! Saying that, Im sure audiences all over the world could find some entertainment and value to the story of the simple man leading the simple life. Maybe its a bittersweet reflection on our society when the main character is defending a house that is virtually noise polluted and ugly!
But hey, who cares right? The point of this film is that even though some things may seem worthless to some people, it can have an inner meaning to others! Its a story about appreciating what you've got and fighting for it, regardless of its monetary value! Okay so the Kerrigan family are uneducated simpletons, but they have a decent belief system and they appreciate the life they lead! They believe their home is paradise and soon as I watch more of this flick- I started to believe the same thing!
I really enjoyed this film and its simple message especially in a world where a successful family can get blurred with how much money they have! This is a great fun predictable film and its well worth a look, and Michael Caten is excellent! The Aussie brand of humour isn't for everyone and some of the jokes are a bit overdone, but the message is great! ***1/2 out of *****!
