Don't walk into this movie expecting anything like an academy award winning masterpiece because you won't get it. What you will get is 79 minutes of stupid male type humor. The plot is kind of absurd and the films budget feels very low, however, the acting is above average, and kept me laughing most of the way through. Hardly the most thought-provoking film I've ever seen. However it works as a Friday movie with your friends. It's dumb but, in my opinion, quite hilarious. I'd recommend this movie if you're not expecting something that will keep on the edge of your seat and bursting with surprises.
It doesn't require much attention, or much, if any, thinking. Overall, a very funny movie I would watch again.

This was a wonderfully funny comedy that kept me laughing throughout the entire movie. Wonderful cast - evident in that none of the actors try too hard to be funny, instead, the comedy is very organic and the characters are written in to match the comedy. Rach ( Sarah Louise Collidge ) and Duey's ( Billy White) relationship dynamic is hilarious. - look out for the dream scene which ends in disaster.
The only problem I had was there wasn't enough time spent at the wedding which could have been played up more- it was built up during the movie then came and went too quickly. I gave the movie a "7" - Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh.

A good movie in it's own right, but not your typical comedy material.
As the movie started, I was trying to compare it to other comedies in it's form of humor, it's a mix of American Pie, Dude Where's my Car and has parts that feel similar to a Stephen Merchant comedy.
Many of the scenes are basic, but still pull a laugh. The movie was good, but compared on a comedic level to American Pie or Dude Where's my Car, it falls short because of the scale of the film. It looks like it was shot on a small budget so the audience relies on the humor and acting rather than having special effects and bigger locations.
In general the acting is hilarious, Billy White and James Pratt definitely turn a pretty simple story line into an entertaining movie. Bella Valentini and Brittany Hockley also have acting scenes that keep you watching.
I like the movie, it over achieves for an independent film, however it doesn't compare to an American Pie scale and won't be the same watching.

If you can get past the small budget and holes in the plotline you will enjoy this movie.
It's simply a film that will make you laugh using humor about guys chasing insanely hot girls only this time round the majority of the story takes place in the beach setting of Sydney Australia rather than at a college or bachelor party.
It has a decent cast of engaging and quirky characters (although the hot role of Rach Taylor ) should have come back at the end of the film. I think the movie shines best for its main theme involving the two leads chasing girls and who have the funniest interactions between them. There is a lot of jokes in this film and the supporting characters will make you laugh through out as well.
The story outline is more about comedy than being believable so don't expect an Oscar winning film, this movie is an indie comedy and what you want when watching something funny. It will make you laugh.

I watched it and thought it was pretty funny... very stupid, but funny. The thing that can sink this type of stupid, slapstick style movie is if it starts going into places where it doesn't belong, Like getting too serious or introducing a different type of humor. "Malibu Crush, sticks to its aesthetics as stupid as they are and never sells itself out. Therefore, I think it works, and is in fact a well-made guy-humor comedy.
The acting from the two leads (James Pratt) and (Billy White) is good and you root for the main characters as they run their scams. I think this movie will only appeal to a very specific audience, but you can say the same thing about a most comedies.
Runtime is 79 minutes and in that time it cracked me up several times.
