The BBQ

WARNING do not watch this movie on a empty stomach as it features a lot and i mean a lot of mouth watering BBQ food. This was a great Aussie family movie, with some cheap laughs, some great education on Captain Cook history, how Wagyu beef is prepared and how to cook a bloody good steak, Shane Jacobson plays the typical Dad role well- and with such an Aussie name (Dazza), he works at the local barbecue galore and is asked to represent the company at the big Aussie BBQ cook off while his wife (who wears the same dress everyday) works at the local IGA. If there was ever an Aussie movie to send overseas to promote us in a good way this would be it. Seeing Manu Feildel (dazzas rival) just gets my excited for the up coming series of MKR. So Manu the score im giving you for your movie is......a 5!

Was really hoping for a good wholesome laugh but alas I fell asleep about one third the way through. To be fair the actors are a good sort but the script just fell short for me. There is also my deep longing desire to see a Kenny 2 which is no doubt also biased my critique. Sorry Shane but a 2 outa 10 from me.

The BBQ offers a great laugh and escape into a nice little story. It was nice to take my nephew to a film that didn't involve sex violence or swearing. Unlike a couple of narcissistic egotistical moronic critics who obviously missed the point - this film does not take its self seriously it provides a great 90 minutes of fun and escapism.

I watched the BBQ today and thought that it was a very funny movie , along with the Castle.

The son asks about Captain Cooks "ancestors " in Australia.
