Kath and Kim..the Australian sitcom..has been running in Australia for a few years now. The type of humor is affectionately called "bogan". Most of its huge audience are ..in fact, lovingly referred to as bogans. The reasons for making this into a movie are a mystery. What we have here is an abject failure. The script is simply ..terrible. The acting self conscious, and not a laugh in sight. The actual story is ridiculous..the whole cast appear not to believe in it either. (A special word for Frank Woodley..he is a funny man). How a world-wide audience is going to react to this garbage is easy to predict. Lets be kind...and say...they will leave early. (Wish i had)...15 minutes is enough. After that one may puke.
... View MoreLoved the show & enjoyed the movie. I know they repeated a lot of the jokes but I do believe this was certainly a movie for the fans. I love to laugh & a lot of things make me laugh (apart from sh*t like two & half men and how I met your mother which are horrible) and feel this movie is simply good for nostalgic purposes. Also if you're not a fan of kath & kim then wtf are you doing writing a review on it? Morons...anyway, it was enjoyable and there were some jokes there that most ppl didn't seem to get (jane and gina can be clever that way) but I got them. I love these women and this movie hasn't changed that. It had it's odd moments but if you're a fan, and you love to laugh (at the same jokes over & over, similar to watching Little Britain) then you'll like this movie. If you're old, a stick in the mud or just plain dumb, you won't appreciate it enough to sit back & enjoy it for the nice, traditional Aussie "yoomah" that it is :)
... View MoreI loved the T.V. show when it was on ABC - I think it lost something when it went commercial - but hey i still loved it.I just want to say i will NEVER get the 1 1/2 hours back that i spent watching this movie.It was bad. Too much Trude and Prude and not enough new joke material. The actors in this movie are all extremely intelligent actors but something was missing.I think they tried too hard and should have just gone back to the original concept. I am sure they could have done something with Eponey Rae and the shopping centre maybe some toddlers and tiaras story line.
... View MoreI loved the TV show in the early days.. It was original and hilarious. Over the years though, they just repeated the same old stuff over and over again.. and i always assumed that's why the show eventually went off the air - People were bored.Unfortunately, it seems they didn't learn their lesson though. This movie is just 90 minutes of the same old jokes from the show 10 years ago, regurgitated in exactly the same way. Only difference is that this time it is set in Italy.Prue & Trude, My all-time favorite characters from the show are nothing short of annoying in this movie. They are just scattered throughout the film for absolutely no reason and don't add a thing to the story.I use the term "Story" lightly. This film really doesn't have one. It's just a stage to shove the same old characters, saying the same old lines.Very very disappointing.Hopefully the aging actors will finally realize that this horse has been flogged, and move onto new things.
