This tale of a dysfunctional family coming together to share the Christmas spirit is fantastically funny and very heart rending at the same time. It has a message and brings it across well without getting mawkishly sentimental. The humour is very 'pi**take' Australlian but most people will get the message. Warren Mitchell is superb in his role and the supporting cast are all good. You'll laugh and cry and go off with sore stomach muscles. Watch out for the video camera holiday footage from the chookshed!
I first saw this movie on a long distance coach trip to spend Christmas with my partner's dysfunctional family, which made it all the funnier!
