The Merger

Overall The Merger is easy entertainment but it has moments where it's a bit stupid and childish. For example the sports scenes are the weakest parts of this movie, especially the final game where the players start sweet talking with the opponents, that's just ridiculous and that's not what I call entertainment. There's also alot of racism and not alot of comeback against it, alot of forgiveness while a kick in the head was more appropriate. Sometimes I had the feeling racism was perfectly normal and that's just irritating to watch. The humor parts made the movie watchable, especially the conversations between the young Rafferty Grierson and Damian Callinan. The Merger isn't bad but it isn't that great either.

At first it didn't have huge expectations about this movie. David Callinan was one of my favourite comedians growing (Loved Skithouse) so that was the main reason why I wanted to see this movie. As a person who loves Country Footy, this movie kicked a lot of goals close to my heart. From the killer local community nicknames like Porterhouse,Sheepy, Carpert Burn etc... to saving the club by recruiting refugees to their side.

When it comes to Aussie comedies, lately we've been as dry as a nuns nasty. Luckily we have this gorgeous saving grace thats snagged a ripper from 60 out on a rainy day at the G!

The Merger is true-blue in style and grace as it shows the heart that was put into this is real! We have true Aussies on Screen and behind the camera with Aussie Jokes and Aussie Topics ... and to top it off we have the magnificent sherrin being backed by the glorious Roosters! The Refugees are more than welcome in Australia and the Merger happily sticks it up the Right Wing in an incredibly comedic and heartfelt fashion. Shout outs to Fayssal as he kicks the 6 pointer into our Loving hearts!

Carn the Maroon, White and Blue! Lets make sure this filum gets high up into the specky Zone!

I mean fair shake of the sauce bottle. Missed a trick here, cobber. Shoulda called it Bodgy Creek and have done with it.

Great Aussie yarn for these times. All it needed was Briggsy and I reckon I'd of bumped it up to an 8 or a 9. #briggsforpm #bodgycreek #bodgycreekroosters

Has a huge heart behind it. Great messages about tolerance and community.
