Kath & Kimderella (2012)

This movie was a horrific atrocious failure, any real Kath and Kim fan will think of suicide rather than laugh at this pathetic cliché garbage.Most scenes had unwanted annoying music in the background and pretty much everything about this movie was thought up by talentless idiots. It's like Kath and Kim was sucked up by Disney and then shat out. Biggest insult to a franchise I've ever seen. -1/10I signed up just to warn you all how much this movie sucks, it was that bad.I want every person involved with the movie to read this review and realize they have insulted all real fans of the show with this forced trash.

Kath and Kim..the Australian sitcom..has been running in Australia for a few years now. The type of humor is affectionately called "bogan". Most of its huge audience are ..in fact, lovingly referred to as bogans. The reasons for making this into a movie are a mystery. What we have here is an abject failure. The script is simply ..terrible. The acting self conscious, and not a laugh in sight. The actual story is ridiculous..the whole cast appear not to believe in it either. (A special word for Frank Woodley..he is a funny man). How a world-wide audience is going to react to this garbage is easy to predict. Lets be kind...and say...they will leave early. (Wish i had)...15 minutes is enough. After that one may puke.

I must say, i was hesitant to see this movie, thinking the worst! But i was pleasantly surprised. I am not a huge fan of Australian comedy myself but i thought the acting was very good. Don't forget that Kath and Kim have been the portrayal of characters we all may of encountered in the good old days of the 80's. If you weren't around then, you wont get the humour!In reference to the "bike scene", I am pretty sure it was made to look like that on purpose, as it would of been badly done in the 80's, they were just sending it up! If you aren't Australian and you weren't old enough or born in the 80's and you aren't familiar with Kath and Kim already, then you wont get it!! Soundtrack was great!!

First, as others have done, let me 'disclaimer' this by saying I am a MASSIVE fan of the series, and I think anyone who isn't was always going to be disappointed by this so shouldn't have bothered! Half my late-teen years were spent pretty much reciting the jokes of each season, as they were subsequently released, between my friends who loved it just as much. That made the whole situation of viewing, and reviewing, this movie very hard.I was really disappointed in this film - not in a way where I had built up massive expectations, but in the way that it just simply wasn't good. At all. You can tell these girls still have some amazing wit and humour, as there are some definite funny moments, but for the most part you just wonder who actually looked at the script, or the final cut, and thought it was a good idea. I spent half the film cringing, especially as I was sitting next to a friend who wasn't 'sold' on the series and could feel him just thinking...WTF.-The storyline is just a bit weird - the characters lose a bit of their cuteness/overall kitch-ness when they're removed from the incredible suburban plainness which is Fountain Lakes. Though I understand that TV->film adaptations often need to move to grandiose settings to avoid being labelled as an extended episode, the storyline was just unbelievable and weird (take the show to Europe, sure, but made up cities, a royal family, dungeon-come-gay disco...come on).-The Sharon gay jokes....the first time is funny but by the end (going to the dress up party as, quote, "a friend of Dorothy's...you know, the Lion from Wizard of Oz") it becomes an insult. The show used to do subtle humour incredibly...maybe not anymore.-The Dame Edna cameo. Enough said.-In general, the jokes haven't evolved since season 1. Yes that has always been the case, but when watching the movie for 2 hours (and seeing extended cameos from characters who were previously small players, like Marion or Prue and Trude) it becomes painfully obvious.All in all, there were some funny bits for sure, and if you're a fan of the series you might like. But in general, this was a mess, and if you're a MASSIVE fan of the series,you may be let down :(
