Camp, 23 March 2003
Author: niibu_yaa from Irvine, California

This movie, as many have noted, is not exactly an example of great film making. It goes over well because of it's camp value. Scores of interesting to silly one liners, that are sure to amuse any viewer from somewhere other than the films country of origin. I originally rented this movie several years ago when I was in college, mainly because it was in the "foreign film" section. After getting over the shock of how bad the dialouge was, I started to enjoy it. To this day I have some strange desire to go to Australia and ask some if they: "Fancy a root."
