Meat Pie

I made the mistake of watching portions of this in 2007 and it still haunts me. I know he needed money for a Playstation but I still can't believe a young Ed Kavalis would stoop so low. This movie left me walking away feeling dirty and hollow inside. Also, the director is a slumlord. Marsland Motors.

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.

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.

Recipe for Meat Pie... Ingredients: Some incompetent film-making hobbyists, grand ideas blended with total delusion, crude jokes stolen from the nearest schoolyard playground, nonsensical material that's just plain unfunny... and a whole lot of egos, each convinced that he is in charge and an "expert".

Method: After writing woefully inept script, reject feedback from people who actually have a clue about writing. Remain convinced that this is "commercial hit" material. After unsuccessfully trying to recruit pure talent such as John Cleese, Bryan Brown and Michael Caton, or celebrities such as Steve Irwin, cast some washed-up comedians and former reality TV contestants. Cluelessly throw together a film with a camera from the local pawnbroker and await mocking from anyone unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the garbage

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!!!
