really funny

I loved this film, it was really funny and well written. i saw a lot of myself and my friends in the humor. Really good job by the cast and crew. Apparently the guy who serves them in the video store is Mark Prebble one of the writers who also directs. If you like this Mark is one of the writers for the kiwi sitcom "B and B" on Maori TV in New Zealand. I think that the job that Mark did to raise publicity for this movie from his web site: makemarksmovie.com is a really clever idea and one that certainly paid off with him gaining not only cash but also people with the expertise to help him finish what was a labour of love. I saw this movie in my local video store and was pleased that it has gotten some kind of NZ distribution. It is good that NZ movies are getting out there and that everyone who contributes to them gets some public acknowledgement for their hard work.

New Zealand humour rules

The actors are very credible and the script is funny. I felt really interested and worried about the protagonists. I watched it online, because I certainly wouldn't find it in my country to buy, which is a pity. There are many worse and unoriginal (comedy) movies out there with higher ratings. Unfortunately, I feel many people don't understand NZ humour. I love it, it's the only one I can watch again and again. Anyway this is really a great piece of anti-romance. Like most NZ films I have seen, it is quirky, unusual and pretty eccentric. I strongly recommend this film to expand your point of view of what comedy is, can or should be.
