Here's an interesting bit of history about New Zealand: in 1802 the Kiwis invented the condom using a sheep's lower intestine. In 1822 the Aussies somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the sheep first. A lot of Kiwi jokes that Aussies tell are based on the (never officially proven) theory that New Zealand men have sex with their sheep and that they (the men, not the sheep) come over to Australia only to go on the dole. Australians also think that Kiwis are dumb and less intelligent, even though Rob Muldoon, New Zealand's Prime Minister in the 1980s, once quipped that the exodus of Kiwis to Australia raised the average IQ of both countries. The latest import from New Zealand, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, has certainly raised the standard of movies in this country. It stars Sam Neill who also acted in "The Hunt for Red October", so the "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" must've been a shoe-in for him. ☺ I am a Barry Crump fan (who could ever forget "There and Back"?) and as this movie is based on his book "Wild Pork and Watercress", it is as good as all his writing; nay, it's even better.Read full review

The character of Ricky is positively obnoxious, but by the end he is the one you are cheering on. Sam Neil is delicately understated in character and yet all the more believable because of this. The cops are a bit ‘keystone’ in make up and performance and Ms Social Worker is an over the top interfering bureaucrat. The film states it is a comedy and in the first instance if one takes on the persona and mindset of the main characters it is not so laughable as more believable. By the mid way point of the film, the irrepressible humour that so aptly describes the human condition in even the most tragic of circumstance shines through. Thoroughly entertaining.

Nice Kiwi remake of 'Sleeping Dogs". Even stars Sam Neil in both. Kinda predictable, and chokka with memorable characters.
