Meat Pie

The world would be a happier, more enlightened place without this movie.

The plot of the film is so undeveloped that it would be better described as a premise - a guy gets his genitals removed by a mincing machine and gets a transplant from a black porn star.

Once the entire plot has been presented to us in the space of about three minutes, we have a long sequence where a number of out-of-place lowbrow jokes about everything that's funny if you're drunk. In fact, I'm wondering if the film makers were drunk when they wrote this, shot it, edited it.

The characters are very, very one-dimensional, generally limited to a single characteristic each. We've seen all these people in a dozen other movies, and relocating the little bit of 'action' there is to a pie shop in an obscure Australian town does not warrant a 'new' movie.

In the end, if you feel like having some simple, no-brains-required laughs and don't mind that the larger part of the movie is going to be bad, you might as well check this out. But don't say you weren't warned.

I saw Meat Pie at an advanced screening and all I can say is WELL DONE GUYS!!! This film was absolutely amazing. A great teen comedy romp with a story that will keep you laughing. Australia has never really tried to do anything like this and for a first attempt I must say the gang has done a great job here.

My hats off to such a young Australian cast too, well done to them all for a great job with this film.

I'm going to recommend this film to everyone who wants a great Australian film full of laughter and the like. So sit back relax and get ready to laugh with MEAT PIE!!!

Barely watchable, possibly one of the worst films ever made. To the director I would say: get a real job.

It's not even funny bad like some old or dated cult flicks, it's just truly awful. Poorly crafted, derivative, unoriginal, amateurishly produced. Also borrows liberally from SBS TV's Pizza. If you are going to appropriate ideas, why not at least rip off something good?

I've seen first year film student projects that are far better than this waste of space.

One of the worst films I've ever seen by far.

You can watch the whole thing on YouTube, but I bet you won't sit through the first minute.

A delightful romp which will surely inspire the world to new heights of awesomeness. Well Done. Quite possibly the single most influential piece of literature in history. It will forever change the film world for the better. Congratulations to Ed Kavalee for a successfully convincing performance and realistic meat mincing scene. Could have used four extra montages.

A triumph of epic proportions. Nice crackle.

I love Rock 'n Roll underwear in the pants, and all over my hair. This is my tenth line, geezus what a ridiculous requirement. Kill Flanders, Kill Flanders, etc.

I'm all for freedom of expression, and would never deny someone the right to independently get a message across to film audiences. However this movie, an attempt at independent comedy, seriously stands in the way of other people having the chance to express themselves. It also demeans just about every group in society with its feeble attempts at humour, and insults viewers in the process. Seriously, who thinks audiences are going to be amused by jokes about masturbation, menstruation, penis transplants and various racist and homophobic slurs? The Australian film industry is struggling to find an identity, and, as much as I admire anyone with a mission to get some Australian product out there, films like this will only damage the industry's already-low reputation and stop real films with real messages getting the chance they deserve.
