    Give yourselves a good Spank

    If you're looking for a comedy film about cafe culture, stereotype men trying to act mature, but just end talking s**t, this is the right choice. I also think of it as a time capsule to look back on Adelaide from the late 90s, compared to what it's become today. It's also the best time to preserve hidden relics like these when they pop up, as this film just recently resurfaced, and it was previously very hard and impossible to find. But now it's available on YouTube for all to enjoy, even for those that would have seen it probably once when the movie was originally on the shelves of video rental shops. Go ahead and check out Spank! You'll get some amusement out of it.

    Spankin' good fun

    I live in adelaide, I have been to rundle street many times. I have a lot of Italian friends myself, spank is a good good aussie flick. I am of a few out of my friends like australian films... Pity, there are too many of excellent ones out there.

    Spank is a good, fun comedy about some italian young'uns that are trying to start up their own cafe in one of the busiest streets in Adelaide.

    I can't really say much besides it being good with location of filming, acting, humor and the stereotyping of italians is just right.

    Go see it, 10/10
