    "The only thing revealing at the moment is two inches of arse crack poking out the top of my pants."

    Crackerjack is a simple, funny and light-hearted typical Aussie comedy that is fun and very entertaining. A terrific script written by Mick Molloy and his brother...( read more) Richard, which is really able to authentically display what old Aussie codgers are truly like. Lazy slob Jack Simpson (played tremendously well by Molloy) has a membership in a local lawn bowls club purely for the purpose of renting out his car park spaces (He owns 3 memberships, equalling 3 car park spaces; the car park for the bowls club is across the road from his work). When things get desperate at the bowling club and they start running out of players, the club call upon Jack (even though he's never held a lawn bowl in his life) to play lawn bowls with the other old folks. Jack is very reluctant, but has no choice if he wants to keep his membership(s), the other two of which the club are still unaware that Jack owns. Unfortunately, this Aussie production took a lot of pasting and it's a real shame that it did. It was never meant to be a masterpiece, and it isn't, but it's a good laugh to have while enjoying a cold one. Crackerjack is also special because it displays many Australian traits that ring true in reality. From believing in the philosophy of a 'fair go', to enjoying nothing more than a cold beer on a hot afternoon. The stereotypical Australians as portrayed in the film are very accurate as well. The cast was terrific, the gags are extremely clever and overall I had a really fun time watching this movie.

    Light-hearted Aussie comedy where the ageing members of a bowling club facing closure bring in a youngster to help win the inter-club tournament and save the club.
