Spit

This is a beaut flick, and not only for us hard core fans of the excellent "Gettin Square", where the character of Spit was originally featured, although it certainly helps if you've seen and become word perfect at all the quotable quotes from that movie.

David Wenham is excellent as always, showing his fantastic comedic abilities alongside some very poignant moments as well as Spit's early life story unfolds. He stays completely in character and so likeable throughout. The supporting cast was wonderful especially the guy that Chicka is trying to kill in the mid part of the film. What an amazing turn of events is thrown into the middle of the film.

There are moments of reflection and nods to Getting Square, but an equal number of new and thoughtful story lines and characters. Very clever story and script and a kick arse Aussie soundtrack - Amyl and the Sniffers included. Yeah!

Love it just as much as Gettin Square. Thanks so much to all for making this film. A true and instant Aussie gem. Left the theatre feeling good about being an Aussie and a smile.

Spit is a brilliant, long-awaited sequel to Getting Square that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Seamlessly blending sharp Aussie humour with gritty storytelling, it delivers a powerful continuation of beloved characters and themes. The performances are outstanding, particularly in revisiting familiar faces with added depth and maturity. The writing is clever, with just the right balance of nostalgia and fresh perspective. Stylish direction and a tight script ensure Spit stands confidently on its own while paying homage to its predecessor. A gripping, funny, and thoroughly entertaining ride-well worth the wait for fans of Getting Square and newcomers alike.

This movie is a really good view of a side of Australia culture that isn't usually seen. It's funny, clever in some parts and a wonderful movie. It also talks about some problems in the government and legal systems and how it can hurt the people it's supposed to protect. The main character shows how someone can seem like both a jerk but also someone who really cares about family and there friends. A fantastic movie that has a lot of heart and care. The characters are portrayed really well by the actors and they feel really passionate about their rolls. I would highly recommend people watch this movie.

If you have seen Gettin' Square and enjoyed it, then you really might like to see this sequel! It's all about Johnny Spitieri, the ex-junky small time drug dealer played exceptionally by the delighted David Wenham, decades later.

Wenham mentioned in the pre show program that he kept the thongs (flip flops, jandals) from the previous production and indeed they made an appearance.

Johnny returns to Australia and memorably helps teach his own colourful style of Australian English to the attentive migrants, but soon trouble raises its head and Johnny has to be on the run.

A moving but hilarious journey of shenanigans and a super fun script.

Heaps of swearing, heaps of heart.

I made it to the end in some sense of misguided patriotism. I want Australia to have a film industry. My wife asked why he was placed in this facility when... it doesn't matter. Because this sets up the pro immigration SBS watching, Greens voting leftist agenda - Strangely made through a film starring a stereotypical bogan petty criminal with other crims. It occasionally worked still. There were some clever moments. Some funny moments. It is mostly funny that you would go in thinking it would be funny or a crime thriller and get the most bleeding heart leftist propaganda chick flick. No romance though? Just lots of feels. I grew up around bogans and was also amused imagining their reaction to this. Welcome to 2025.
