    Lolz - Aussie film-making doesnt get any better! :-)

    For those who arent Aussie, Fat Pizza is the hit TV series in Oz which pulls no punches in parodying the many steretoypes in Aussie ie: Western sydney culture - and they go where usually many TV or film makers wont even touc...( read more)h by parodying culture, religion ethnicity and everything else you can think of.

    Unless you Australian, you probably wouldn't get some of the jokes, but the cars, girls, food and those "little" things will get you to crack up, as well as the fully hilarious characters and special guests, which are famous Aussie celebrities and comedieans.

    Watch it if you liked gross out comedies or others which challenge the steretypes and pretty much goes overboard. :-)

    In total bad taste, vulgar, irreverent, politically incorrect and very funny, Fat Pizza is an over-the-top, high-energy rocket ride of insanity. Paul Fenech, whose fascination for pizza began 15 years ago, when he was a pizza delivery boy in Leichhardt, has written, directed and ...( read more)produced a rip-roaring broad comedy of slapstick that?s blatantly offensive, filled with obscenities and fart jokes, but delivers plenty of good humour. First the TV show, now the movie. Fenech wrote the script in one week and shot it in five ? the result is one big, spoof that is strung together with skits, sight gags and one-liners. The simple premise is simply an excuse to jumble together crazy, cool characters that do crazy, uncool things. The ideas never stop coming, although the film does run out of steam towards the end, and the multi-wedding sequence falls a little flat. Fenech holds the plot together with an appealing narrative, and the ensemble cast of Johnny Boxer, Paul Nakad and Jabba is terrific. The skits are short, the editing is sharp and the use of music inspired. The characters are colourful enough to explode any colour palette: they are a mix of revolting and appealing (think Ali G, Benny Hill), and include the clever casting of voluptuous singer/actress Maria Venuti and good humoured crooner (?Why Are You So Unkind??) Kamahl. Venuti nails the big Mama character with a refreshing lack of vanity and is very funny indeed, while Kamahl?s competing Phat Pizza kitchen owner is a wonderful surprise. There is no mercy for anyone: the disabled, little people, overweight, homophobic, elderly, bible bashers, transvestites, hari-krishnas, Elvis clones, bikies, windscreen washers, druggies, dingoes, backpackers and every ethnic group you can imagine. And then there are those really, really bad taste issues ?what can you say about references to September 11, the Woomera detention riots, boat people bashing, axe murderers and Lebanese boys? girl-exploits shown on the internet? There?s a running gag involving magician David Cockerfield (Tim Ferguson, excellent) and his scantily clad blonde fitness-instructress squeeze Claudia Macpherson (no prize for guessing which two models she is based on) seductively played by Annalise Braakensiek. If you want to be offended, Fat Pizza has it all. Oh yes, there are some chuckles when the health inspector inspects the kitchen and finds (shock, horror!) cockroaches, condoms and other no-nos. You may not be in a hurry to have a pizza, but you will have laughed away many of life?s bigger problems by laughing at them ? after all, isn?t that how we cope with life?s loads??

    There's a plot of sorts about a guy who works at a pizza shop holding a ring for his boss who bought a mail-order bride or something. The plot is just an excuse to string some skits together. Some hilarious, some funny, some awful (the Ronald McDonalds, the baby),. Offending pret...( read more)ty much everyone along the way. VERY un-P.C. which is a good thing. This is based on a TV show I guess (I don't know, I'm not an Aussie, I've never even been in prison). Sure it's juvenile, sophomoric, and obsessed with ass humor, but I'd rather with this than any Ali G. However,it could also have been cut by a good 10 or so minutes and would have been better.
