Kath & Kimderella

I didn't enjoy it as much as the series but it was still funny. One thing I didn't really get was why Kel was afraid to fly because they've flown together before so did something happen that I missed ? It's nice, it's different, it's unusual.

What a disappointment. I lived in Australia for several years, and while I'm not a big K&K fan, I had somewhat higher expectations for this movie.

Literally everything is clichéd. The plot is contrived and predictable, and essentially resembles every other mediocre comedy. The actresses are one dimensional, and while perhaps amusing in 30 minute chunks, are just plain tiresome over 90 minutes.

I just do not understand why they opted for such a tired storyline and predictable gimmickry. Is it just beyond our power to make an original film these days? This movie is formulaic junk food, and unfortunately adds to the common perception that Australian movies are terrible.

I must say, i was hesitant to see this movie, thinking the worst! But i was pleasantly surprised. I am not a huge fan of Australian comedy myself but i thought the acting was very good. Don't forget that Kath and Kim have been the portrayal of characters we all may of encountered in the good old days of the 80's. If you weren't around then, you wont get the humour!In reference to the "bike scene", I am pretty sure it was made to look like that on purpose, as it would of been badly done in the 80's, they were just sending it up! If you aren't Australian and you weren't old enough or born in the 80's and you aren't familiar with Kath and Kim already, then you wont get it!! Soundtrack was great!!

Anyone who is Australian and doesn't flat out love Kath and Kim is obviously crazy, I'm an avid fan of these two characters, from their early days on big girls blouse all the way to their prime-time series on 2 of Australia's leading channels, and after watching Kath and Kimderella it makes me love them even more. They're just so bloody charming, and really it is all meant to be a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously. I will say, when I saw the trailer I thought it looked kind of silly, but I was so surprised at just how good the "fillum" really was, we see all our favorites from the show in a bunch of hysterical situations. One thing I really appreciated was that the jokes all weren't recycled from the TV show, sometimes the show used to repeat itself, but I think the movie format and having it set somewhere entirely different really helps, it gives them a new subject to write material on. The script is actually very clever, Riley and Turner have snuck in so many little bits and pieces from fairy tales, I'm even pretty sure the crazy wife in the attic was a nod to Jane Eyre.

Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Magda Szubanski are national treasures, hands down Australia's funniest women, these ladies are just wonderful and all work well together, perfect chemistry. My favorite I have to say is Kim, she is such a right cow she's impossible not to love. This movie must have had a very large budget, as it looks terrific, some has been done on a green screen but that all adds to the Aussie feel, but everything else is just amazing to look at, they've captured Italy very well.

I do hope people ignore the bad reviews and go and make up their own minds, they might be pleasantly surprised at just how enjoyable it is, just take it for what it is which is a lighthearted comedy romp.

I hope all you fellow Aussies love it as much as I did.

The follow up film to their hilarious tv series, kim and kath go on a trip to italy. Everything goes wrong. But they have fun anyway. Some funny bits; in perfect karma, kim has raised a daughter as bitchy and selfish as herself. And their alter egos trude and prue are along as well! So the girls meet their princes and may or may not get hitched! Even sharon goes on a date. Special appearance by barry humphries as dame edna. The film doesn't quite live up to the original series, but its all in good fun. Directed by ted emery, who had directed a bunch of the series episodes.
