This coming of age story is flat out hilarious. It works the 70's suburban setting hard. The Austrailian suburban experience was apparently remarkably similar to the Californian experience in that decade. The only real difference is the Austrailian accents and vernacular, which makes this even funnier. Elliot makes the most of every opportunity to go too far in every scene. If you want a lesson in how to raise your kids in the most un-PC way possible, this is the movie for you.
