Dribble

Wear a bib because this is absolute dribble. I try to support the Australian film industry but it's hard when we continue to produce this embarrassing, overacted rubbish. Thin storyline, unlikeable characters. This is cringe that's been around for decades and we still haven't shaken it off. One extra star given for the Australian music content.

'scuse me your honour...

If you have seen Gettin' Square and enjoyed it, then you really might like to see this sequel! It's all about Johnny Spitieri, the ex-junky small time drug dealer played exceptionally by the delighted David Wenham, decades later.Wenham mentioned in the pre show program that he kept the thongs (flip flops, jandals) from the previous production and indeed they made an appearance.Johnny returns to Australia and memorably helps teach his own colourful style of Australian English to the attentive migrants, but soon trouble raises its head and Johnny has to be on the run.A moving but hilarious journey of shenanigans and a super fun script.Heaps of swearing, heaps of heart.

A joyous return to an Australian classic

Arriving 22 years after its forefather Gettin Square, Spit has become one of the most unlikeliest of sequels to one of Australian cinemas most underrated classics, reuniting its star David Wenham, its director Jonathan Teplitzky and its screenwriter Chris Nyst for a new Queensland set adventure.It'd be wrong to say the 2003 crime comedy Gettin Square was crying out for a sequel, it was a nicely contained slice of criminal pie in its own right but the proposition of getting to witness Wenham slip into a pair of thongs, a tight pair of blue jeans and sport a world-class mullet is an appealing proposition to anyone that enjoyed Teplitzky's first go-around and while Wenham's John "Spit" Spitieri was but a scene-stealing side character in 2003, here he is front and centre to a mid-tier yet undeniably better than it should be follow-up.Following the exploits of Spitieri as he attempts to re-enter Australia after spending 20 years abroad and for all intents and purposes having been dead and buried to anyone concerned, there's not a whole lot going on here in regards to a notable plot that centres around a bunch of Spitieri's old criminal acquittances trying to get to him before the police get incriminating evidence from him but there's a fairly high strike rate of laughs (especially early on when Spitieri finds himself in a detention centre full of refugees) and even when the plot flounders and story stalls, Wenham truly is a sight to behold.One of Australia's great acting exports that has continued to be a major part of both Hollywood products and quality home grown content across the last few decades, Wenham has admitted that the role he gets asked about most is that of ex-smack addict and court troublemaker Spitieri and it's clear that the esteemed performer relishes the chances to don the attire and morph into the petty criminal with a heart of gold routine.While his surrounded by some of Australia's most notable acting veterans such as Gary Sweet as criminal kingpin Charles "Chika" Martin and David Field as corrupt cop Arne Deviers, Spit has been smartly built around Wenham's craftsmanship and when the film struggles to balance out its heart with its silliness, particularly some fairly soft family drama with Spitieri's bloodline and some undercooked side stories pertaining to Arlo Green's refugee Jihad Kalif, Wenham is always having a blast and bringing us along for the ride.There's nothing within Spit that would make one think its going to have the same long-lasting impact of Gettin Square or have scenes such as the iconic court room back and forward or thong-clad foot chase from the original that fans will love to reminisce about, even if both those scenes get some tributes and follow-ups here, but there's fun to be had from this unexpected return to the world of one of Australian cinemas most iconic characters.Enough reason then to support the floundering local feature film industry that is in dire need of crowd-pleasing films such as Spit.Final Say -After a hot start Spit does at times falter along its way to its credits and doesn't always manage to balance the weighty with the goofy but with Wenham on top form getting to bring back his beloved character, Spit offers up a lot of joy and laughs that are sure too please all those that enjoyed the 2003 precursor.3 1/2 questionable English language lessons out of 5Jordan and Eddie (The Movie Guys)
