    Fun Indie Comedy

    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.

    A funny movie in it's own right, good for low budget

    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.

    Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh

    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.

    Overall, funny

    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.

    Hope to see these guys again

    It would be misleading to claim this is a brilliant film (in either regard - as comedy or character study), it's an assured indie picture that finds its footing and achieves a surprising level of comedy throughout its running time.

    The movie was a breath of fresh air in many ways, it's one of the best independent comedies I've seen in a long time because it avoids the politics of film making and sticks to just comedy.

    Almost all M-rated comedies produced today are PC and unfunny. The PC-rating has become a hindrance to film studios' sensibilities - everything is PG-13, saving the shameless Unrated jokes to be replaced by politically correct safety words with zero humor. The occasional released M-rated comedy, as such, is infrequently modest.

    I hope Malibu Crush becomes a cult flick in the years to come. It's deserving of acknowledgment and while we may live in an era saturated with unnecessary politically correct comedy, I finished watching Malibu Crush hoping to see these guys again. And that's a rare feeling these days.
