Stone Bros.

Well worth watching. Solid acting from the highly talented lead actors, supported by a range of other excellent actors. The plot is not the best but it is great to see an comedy with this subject matter produced in Australia. The movie has amazing dialogue. I found it to be very funny, overall quite entertaining and I would recommend checking it out. For a low budget Australian production it is great! Very well written thumbs up! It tries to be more than just a comedy but I feel it really only works on the one level.

I wish more films like this would be funded, made and produced. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie on TV tonight and it is the second time I have seen it. Including Cheech and Chong style marijuana humor!

Support a low budget film and check it out!

There is something unique about this film beyond the plot and characters. Billed as the first Indigenous Australian comedy, Stone Bros. rightly places itself at the forefront of what is undoubtedly an original format. Like many Australian films, Stone Bros isn't shy in pointing out the flaws of its characters, and taking a dig at the local culture. However, the cast of characters are not the usual crowd, and the honest engagement with the audiences potential discomfort successfully manages to overcome a great deal of presumption about Indigenous culture, particularly in a rural or "Outback" setting.

Endearing characters; humorous and ambitious. I'm particularly impressed with the success in fulfilling that ambition for, despite being a bit rough around the edges, this film lives up to its aims: to challenge dominant perceptions and present a film that all Australians can get behind and enjoy on a lighthearted level - but in consideration of serious issues.

An important film, worth seeing:potentially an Australian classic.

Diane and I watched Stone Bros. last night at SX Luna in Fremantle and both of us enjoyed it hugely. We particularly enjoy our films because they examine reality without blinkers and Stone Bros. is no exception. There will be commentators who will rubbish the film for, pick your poison: stereotyped characters and situations, generalities, predictability of situations, in short all the regular suspects. However, by what standard do you judge a film, the like of which has never been made? Aboriginal films are rare enough on screens and when they are diverting and funny and entertaining as Stone Bros. then I feel that the standard film criteria must be reset. A road trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie is an extraordinarily rare film situation to begin with and then to throw in two Aboriginal men as the main characters on this trip is a recipe for interest and because of good scripting and great acting, you are set for a fascinating journey. Luke Carroll and Leon Burchill supported by a wonderful cast make for an excellent viewing experience. To gain a look into contemporary Aboriginal society is a rare experience and for the writers to produce a gentle film with a myriad of insights into that culture is highly commendable. I think people should make every effort to view Stone Bros.

I don't get the bad reviews, but maybe this one struggles to translate to some of the over mesas market.

This is a very Australian comedy and not your usual export stuff so it will be very much an acquired taste.

Cast was excellent and worked well together. Not much in the way of big names but there were a couple of well known faces playing smaller roles.

Probably the most I've laughed in a movie in quite some time.

I'm brief an Aboriginal Elder decides to teach a couple of young fellas responsibility by giving them this very special rock which they must keep safe for a period of time and where ever they travel. They are then required to return it safe and sound when uncle calls for it back. What could go wrong with a couple of stoners hanging onto a rock and returning it safely?
