savaandr I caught the last half of this movie on TV one day and laughed until my sides hurt. I went straight to the internet and bought the DVD. The storyline starts out strong and immediately starts rolling along to the climatic ending. I didn't find a dull place in this movie. I don't usually care for 'flashbacks', but these were so funny I didn't mind them. The group of guys they have work so well together. The messes they get into are so outrageous, and how they get out of them is even funnier. The storyline is excellent, the actors are great, the laughs are hysterical and it has the most awesome music - AC/DC - how can you go wrong with that combination!
kraymond-5 In terms of genre, this is a cross between a road movie (a drive across Australia by 4 men) and a comedy.But to appreciate this film, you probably need to know a lot about Australia and its culture and a reasonable amount about the rock group AC/DC, especially their early years. So probably the ideal viewer is a middle-aged Australian! I suspect other viewers simply may not understand the jokes nor recognise the many Australian actors and non-actors in cameo roles, that make the film such a delight.The pilgrimage to the grave of Bon Scott's grave is a real-life phenomena, with thousands of people visiting the grave every year, and apparently this film has contributed to even larger numbers of ACDC fans making the trip, so life does imitate art!
Sjouke Hoeksema I like comedy movies I really do! So my friends and I went to hire a movie and we saw this one. And yes the tagline is: A hilarious movie with the music of AC/DC and more... In dutch you know. So we thought cool let's hire this one. When we were home we sad back relax and played the DVD. I have 1 thing to say: Bummer! Just wasted another 90 minutes of my life. The genre of the movie is COMEDY and I don't get it! Because is this movie trying to be a comedy or a drama? Sure there are some funny parts in it but I think this movie is so boring. What Detroit rock city did for the kiss fans, this movie won't do for the AC/DC fans. And what's up with the soundtrack? Almost no songs of AC/DC in it, maybe a few but the most songs are covers:SSo be warned and see for yourself if you want to hire this movie, cause it gave me a bad day!
delaboy To understand just where this film goes wrong is too easy. A bashing together of all sorts of skits loosely trying to hold together a story of four guys traveling across the Australian desert. Although overdone, the concept could have fulfilled its potential if actors were given definite characters and if the pace was slowed down a bit. It seems to lull about awhile trying to find its feet before magically coming to the perfect solution in the end. A film that optimizes Australian film making at the present. Whilst films like this are being made- with no real plot, definite characters or originality - the film industry in Australia will always lack the thunder and lightning it needs. Great fun until you realize it isn't.
