A loser real estate agent (Josh Thomson) becomes the chief of a sinking Pacific island in this Kiwi-Pacific comedy from thedownlowconcept (TV's 7 Days).
When struggling real-estate agent Gary Vasisi (Thomson) is called back to his homeland in the Pacific, he’s handed a great opportunity - the chance to take his dying father’s crown and become Chief of an island that is rapidly sinking into the ocean. With a treasury and a tropical paradise to his name, Gary hopes to give his girlfriend Chloe (Megan Stevenson) the wedding she wants and finally attain the success he's yearned for. Even if it is at the expense of his people.

Where to watch Gary of the Pacific
"With a strong pedigree in short-form and TV comedy, news that thedownlowconcept had a feature-length effort on the way came as exciting news. Unfortunately, the writing-directing trio’s first big screen effort, Gary of the Pacific, is somewhat of a disappointment."

Flicks"GARY more or less comes right in the last hour. It never really coalesces into anything you could call a coherent story. But the individual moments and scenes that make up the brief running-time are occasionally very funny."

Stuff"...they've [thedownlowconcept] clearly aimed, as any good Kiwi film with mainstream ambition would, to collect as wide an audience as possible on the way and that's left it a touch too gentle and frankly linear to be top-class."
