Poe G May 31, 2017 Down Under is a film that will make you laugh and make you think. It's far from perfect, but it's a valid attempt at tackling a tricky subject. Set the day after the infamous Cronulla riots we follow two groups of people who are basically as hopeless as each other. One are a group of Anglos from the Shire and the other a set of Lebanese men. Both are set on some sort of revenge but are too inept to do anything absolutely concrete about it. This film shines a light on the foibles of both, with some genuine laughs along the way. There are some cheap laughs which holds the film back but also some revealing moments that will make you think. It's a film that has its flaws but it's a subject worth tackling. See more

Abraham R Apr 2, 2017 Racial hatred and bigotry down in Australia's most sophisticated center casts shade over the whole country, one would think, but the writer/director here endeavors to put the whole thing under some lighthearted shenanigans of misdirected youth blanket, apologizing for the misogyny. Further, the real bad guy of the film is boorishly gay. I felt as if I were talking to a cracker apologizing for slavery while summing up the legitimacy of the Confederate flag as a symbol of freedom. An opportunity thrown away, and a waste of time.

Kylo S Feb 6, 2017 no one does black humour like the aussies. political incorrectness galore!

Albus W Jan 21, 2017 I wanted to like the film, but the pace is slow, the jokes are childish and lame. As a comedy, it fails. I probably only laughed three times during its 90 minute runtime . See more
