Bad Eggs (2003)

Powerful

Please don't spend money on this.

Fresh and Exciting

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Great film, the thugs in the scallop industry would love it. Although be careful of those red bellied black snakes. This is dizzy stuff folks. Tony Martin is a genius.Up there with The Castle, Short Bus and Meat Pie.Some of the scenes are comedy gold with the visual aspects great. Do yourself a favor and get this film on Video Disc or VHS.Martin uses Franklin's brilliant straight-faced delivery, to help keep things from getting too serious. The debutante also livens things up with the use two truly excellent sight-gags, one of which is a hilarious narrated recollection by Franklin's character.This film is good enough to even forgive the increasingly embarrassing number of times (four I think!) that the top of the boom mike can be seen in a couple of scenes. I don't think Mr. Martin will skip any more editing sessions for future projects! His raw talent, however, is plain to see. That, and the intelligence displayed in not trying to turn his debut film into more than it should be, has me looking forward to his next project.

Tony Martin has made a fantastic move from a successful career in radio, television and stand up comedy into film with his first feature Bad Eggs. This movie could have worked just as well without the jokes, the extremely well written and thought out plot was as good as any contained in a serious cop drama.Martins quick wit and fantastic comedy writing skills kept the crowd in stitches but completely engrossed in the story.Probably the best aspect of this film is that it is not laden with jokes that only Australians will understand, it is quite a universal film and may prove to be the most successful Australian comedy overseas, since Crocodile Dundee.If you enjoyed Crackerjack then you'll love Bad Eggs, Mick Molloy has brought his all in this performance and Bob Franklin proves his worth. 10/10

this film had some laughs, not bad, but not great. the major letdown however was the storyline, i sat in the theatre for the majority of the film wondering what the hell is going on, having occasionally the few laughs that had no real relavance to the storyline itself. the ending was rather poor, so was the character development, and so was the acting (actually, considering most of the lead characters in the film werent actors, you can say they did a decent job).if you have a spare 10 bucks in your pocket and dont know how to spend it, and you feel like you have nothing to do in the next 3 hours, then go see this movie. otherwise, save the money for another movie.

Just saw "Bad Eggs". It was a refreshing movie, (Compared to other Australian attempts at movie making) and the opening shots of the car "driven" by a dead person had the whole cinema laughing their guts out. You are watching wondering till almost the very end as to "who done it", some new actors, and some that that have probably been in every Aussie movie made...Well worth watching, 7 out of 10 :)
