In the interests of consumer protection, perhaps the promotional lines should read “from the countries that bought you such unfunny ‘gems’ as Charlie & Boots and Lesbian Vampire Killers”. For this is an Anglo-Australian ‘comedy’ that is remarkable in its ability to be virtually a laugh-free zone. What set-pieces aren’t telegraphed – you just know the family heirloom sauna will play an important role and disaster will befall Ramsey the pet sheep – consist of cringe comic moments involving a replica Hitler’s moustache, front-bottom burps and a coked-up Olivia Newton John.

Director Stephan Elliott (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) tries to elevate proceedings with match shots a-go-go and some clever use of reflection, but even he can’t rescue this painfully limp hybrid of Crocodile Dundee, Muriel’s Wedding, Meet the Parents and The Inbetweeners Movie. The editing is choppy, the soundtrack, filled with muzak versions of classic ‘70s and ‘80s pop, is one of the most excruciating in years and, after an hour and a half of gross-out moments, they then have the audacity to lather on some late schmaltz. Death at a Funeral (which shares the same writer as this) was a hit because it had great actors, not necessarily known for their comedy chops, three-dimensional characters, a frenetic pace and a high gag quotient. This just leaves you gagging. Hide
