Fat Pizza Trailers

Fat Pizza the Film is yet another slice of life at a dodgy suburban Sydney take away. Bobo Gigliotti the psychotic pizzeria owner/pizza chef is awaiting the arrival of his mail-order refugee bride Lin Chow Bang, and a new pizza deliverer is on the block. Channel V's Jabba almost steals the show as token skip delivery boy Davo Dinkum, a stoner with a bong strapped to his face like a feedbag.

Saw it last night. Probably one of the best comedies I've ever saw! Last time I have laughed so much was, when I saw Bio-Dome ( 1996 ), but this is even better and not college humor, but more adult. No matter this is a 2003 movie and now is 2006, it sounds very actual and modern.What a comedy lover could dislike is just and only, if You are intellectual comedy lover ( "Monty Python" series for example ), here the humor is not of that type. But I am not such a person. And I love this movie! The plot: It is very well organized in my opinion, the story jumps in very dynamic way from one place to another. Especially at beginning. Later there is small lazy, bit boring moments, but it passes.The characters: This is something I love -- Every movie should have memorable characters. Unique. Well, here everyone is different and cool in his way.The cinematography: Original. I liked it.The soundtrack: Well here goes the other advantage of the movie -- there are very very cool electronic ( trance/house probably, did not listened carefully ) songs! If You like this kind of music, You'll gonna dance with the movie. I will try to find these.For all casual comedy lovers -- A must see! Ognen_Demon, October 2006PS: Haven't checked out yet, if this director has more movies, but man if You read this, would like to say -- Keep going! You rule!

Fat Pizza is a fast-paced comedy that just about makes fun of every ethnicity, creed, color, size, and sexual preference of the peoples in Australia, it seems (Having never been to Australia, I'm only guessing they are making fun of everyone)... It's definitely low-brow humor at it's best!I realize that Fat Pizza may not be everyone's cup-o-tea. If you're one of those super-sensitive they-shouldn't-make-fun-of-anyone-or-anything sort of people, stay away from this movie! You will get your feelings hurt!Though if you're like me, a person who's sick to death of all this Politically Correct crap run amok in movies, you'll probably love this particular movie!The only criticism I have about the movie is how hard it was to find it here in the U.S.. I found it by chance at a garage sale.I give this movie a 10!

This movie is a fully sick ule. A real Aussie comedy with everything you could ask for. Heaps of sex, drug use, chicks, violence and ethnic humour goes to good use in the best Aussie movie of 2003 (and possibly of all time), that really makes me laugh everytime I see it. Paul Fenech has come a long way since his time as a cleaner at SBS, and now has evolved his great idea pinch into a great cult comedy that even gets a couple of laughs from people who hate the show.All polictally correct whingers, wankers and whiners are not invited to this chick fest as Sleek, Paulie, Rocky, Habib, Bobo, and newcomer, skip Davo Dinkum go on all their usually funny adventures getting ready for Bobo's wedding with his mail order bride. A must see for every wog, with sick burnouts, hot chicks, sex, subwoofers and fast cars to please even the most conservative ethnic.If your a fan of the TV show, or just out for a quick laugh, see it ya zibt. You'd be an absolute stooge if ya missed it.

It's been said that this movie sets Australian culture back 20 years. Whoever said that (I read it somewhere, but can't remember where) has his/her head in his/her armpit. It's the side of Australian culture outsiders rarely see. Illegal immigrants ARE arriving in leaky boats. Police ARE unfairly targeting ethnic minorities. Fast-food corporations (eg McDoggles) ARE being mean to the little guy (and I don't just mean Pauly). People ARE making speed in their backyards. Backpackers ARE being murdered.Though I'm sure that, when these things occur in the real world, they are nowhere near as funny as they are in Fat Pizza. This movie is utterly hilarious from beginning to end. Sure, the humour may not be everyone's cup of tea. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable watching it with my Nanna.It's unfair to say there is no structure to the plot. There is. Just not a standard one. Which, in this age of Hollywood formula, should be regarded as a good thing. This movie breaks the rules, baby!If you enjoy watching the Pizza TV show on SBS, you'll have a blast. It's longer, with more jokes and cameos crammed in. A family-size Pizza, if you like.If I had to choose between Fat Pizza and Kangaroo Jack as a representation of Australian culture, I'd choose Fat Pizza in a second.
