Though their simple plan seems to go off without a hitch at first, the arrival of a by-the-books tax inspector threatens to blow the lid off of their inventive scheme. Now, with the IRS on their back and the pressure mounting, the stage is set for a series of comic misadventures you won't forget in this warmhearted tale of friendship and the eternal quest to beat the taxman at his own game. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
I want to yell at the filmmakers for sticking to such a tired formula, but I just can't. They made me smile too much.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
A series of hilarious moments along with some astute insight.

Clint Morris, Moviehole
one of the best Australian films in years.The teaming of Hogan and Michael Caton is just sublime.
-
Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile
This comedy about mateship is not the hilarious romp we wish for, but relies on key casting of Hogan and Caton to squeeze every drop of goodwill and humour from its premise.
