The Breaker Upperers

This is a beautifully made, very funny film about two women working out their sex and romantic lives in modern, multicultural Auckland. What I really like about it there is nothing mean-spirited in this film, it's very Kiwi, and the women are honest and hilarious - nothing vulgar about it. It's not an instant classic in the vein of Boy or Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but I think it will grow on me.

I'm european so maybe that's why i loved all the nasty humor but honestly i don't know what these people are talking about. this movie is a hidden gem. it's so freaking unique and original. the only thing i didn't like about this movie was how short it was!! it wasn't perfect but for a kiwi movie it was so much better than i expected. the acting from the two chicks was spot on. this isn't trying to win any oscars, it's just a ridiculous, hilarious movie to help you kill some time in a great way.

I really enjoyed this kiwi movie, mostly for the really cute and quirky humour.

The movie does have a problem with pacing and setting up the different characters, and some of the scenes are just not really believable even in the quirky context (police station strip scene - watch it and you will know... although... I'm not a kiwi, maybe it is believable...).

But anyway, if you are looking for something nice and different to fill some boredom, this is a good choice. I certainly didn't regret watching it.

Just a great funny, uplifting and easy movie. it doesnt ask you for much, it lets you relax and have a good time. Dark and corky comedy at its best. Good acting, lovable characters. All the characters could have turned out to be played out so stupid or caricaturesque, but the actors do a great job. Its certainly a 'lifter upperer'

I honestly find it difficult to understand why this film has so many one star reviews! I enjoyed the silly and sometimes very uncomfortable humour, and thought there was a real warmth to the film. I'm hoping to see more from the two female leads in future.
