My family and I love a good Christmas movie, we even love a bad Christmas movie, you know the hallmark ones where it's completely cringe and predictable but you enjoy it inspire of yourself. This movie was neither. It was quite simply AWFUL.
I had such high hopes and was excited to watch it but other than some funny moments from the token stereotypical gay couple it was blah. It felt like they took all the Aussie staples they could think of and shoved them in a movie for an American audience. The insane number of crocodile Dundee references for example, the accents, the vegemite cameo and our personal favorite the Yabby scene! Can someone please tell these ppl that yabbies/crayfish do not swim up and buy you on the neck with their pincers and give you a bit resembling a hickey!! That scene was the killer for us. It was so ridiculous. And while I am sure there are some female farmers out there who have had plastic surgery I have never met one that's had that much obvious plastic surgery !
Really disappointed I. What could have been a wonderful movie.
