A hilariously funny and entertaining hour and a half.

This is one of the funniest movies I have seen for a while, coming close to 'The Castle'. The humour was fresh, the plot original, and the acting superb. I never thought Jimeoin could do a movie, but I have been proved wrong.

It's funny.

I saw this on TV and really enjoyed it. I had avoided renting the movie - just didn't trust the cover, but it's a very laid back oz comedy with heart and I'm glad I didn't switch the channel.

I love the look of the film - all gritty and contrasty, the colours and sunlit scenes shine brightly and create an atmosphere (gave me dejavu, but that's another story). Not sure if the look was deliberate, or whether it's just what the cheapest film stock looks like. Reminded me of 16mm film.

What the film does superbly is make it look like 1988. Not hard I suppose, since it wasn't long ago, but there were some nice touches that made it look like the late 80s.

Lots of genuine funny scenes. If you've Australian and been around a bit, you should like this movie. If you're from anywhere else in the world, there's a good chance you'll get bored.

Really enjoyable

This film is a fantastic look at an Irishman in Australia. Anyone who enjoys a good comedy should see this film. Jimeoin is absolutely hilarious & has written a very funny first film. The rest of the cast do a good job delivering their lines especially Bob Franklin (another comic legend). See it!

This movie should have got lost in the outback.

The Craic is nearly as good as 'Welcome to Whoop Whoop'.There are about two laughs in the whole movie.Why did they bother.Doesn't anyone read the scripts before they make these movies.

Sketchy comedy has some laughs

This first major screen effort for Irish comedian Jimeoin has a few genuine belly laughs, but it's generally like the man's stand-up act: lots of smirks, smiles and the odd giggle with quite a few slow patches in the middle. It has an almost 'Crocodile Dundee' feel to it, ie. using plot devices to show off the wild Australian outback to a (hopefully) overseas audience. Not a totally disagreeable way to spend an hour and a half, but it's no comedic classic.
