KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

greencloudsuperhero An American miscreant flees to Australia after a number of troubles and setbacks with shady characters in New York City. In Australia, he meets a number of extremely unusual characters, which are likely the above-ground counterparts of New York City's Mole People. He winds up married to an extremely attractive but highly unusual girl, and gets to meet and live with her extended family. It's an entertaining and quirky film. If you enjoyed the American "After Hours", the German "Strange Brew", the British "Brazil", etc. you are bound to enjoy Australia's "Welcome to the Whoop-Whoop". Here in the USA we also have a place comparable to the Whoop-Whoop. It's called Albuquerque, New Mexico.

awk9876 I saw this movie late one recent evening on MGMHD. While I was watching it in bed my wife woke up and asked me what was this crap I was watching. And much of the time I was watching it, I thought it might be crap too. It's disconcerting to watch and completely unconventional as a movie and quite off-putting in many ways other reviewers address. But after it was over, the atmospherics, mood, and offbeat nature of this film's virtually subconscious themes literally haunted me. I want to see it again. It literally haunts my dreams. It might be a great work of art because it moved me even though it also disgusted me.I'm no scholar or art historian so I make no claims other than this film jolted me in a way few others have. The closest thing we have in America are some of the films of Harmony Korine and I can't make up my mind if he's a great artist or disgusting fraud either. Maybe both. But I felt many of the same feelings after watching Gummo and Kidz.

carkent1-1 Welcome to Woop Woop is a unique comedy, so refreshingly different when the typical film comedy nowadays is so vulgar and predictable. This film is by no means wholesome, as it is sexy as all get out. There are many bizarre characters and plot twists mostly set in a small isolated town in Australia. Its attributes include a frankly remarkable use of Rogers and Hammerstein music as its background score: the songs are remade, very hip yet respectful to their source. If this movie is similar to anything, perhaps it is the musical Li'l Abner since there is a sexy blonde (a very appealing Susie Porter, unknown to American audiences) a handsome, dark-haired man (Jonathon Schaech in a vastly entertaining performance that should have made him a big star. He is extraordinarily good-looking and his comedic delivery is quite good. Think of a male supermodel with a great sense of humor) as well as oddly raggedy dressed townsfolk with weird Dogpatch-like hairstyles. Rod Taylor is both scary and touching as the tyrannical leader and there are small roles placed by Miss Edna's Barry Humphries and a young, muscular bodybuilder , Con Demetriou, who was briefly Princess Di's personal trainer, and an almost unrecognizable Rachel Griffiths. There is also a cameo by Gilligan's Island's Tina Louise. This movie is a little gem and should be seen for a special, funny, weirdly good time.

amatthews-1 This is a film classic, in the mode of 'There's something about Mary'. Rod Taylor gives the performance of a lifetime. The ethereal counterpoint provided by the Rogers and Hammerstein scores is strange and wonderful at the same time. It's a comedy, a very dark comedy. It's a love story ... F#*($K me blue, F*@#(K me raw, to the strains of The Sound of Music. It's great entertainment. It's Deliverance meets Rogers and Hammerstein. It's Sex and Drugs, and Broadway show tunes in the Australian outback. A combination your not likely to have sampled before, but one you will wish there was a sequel for. If TV sitcoms are your thing, you just won't get this film. It's bizarre, shocking (if you shock easily), wildly funny, and atmospheric. Is there something about this film that is uniquely Australian? Probably not, this had to have been a bizarre and disturbing dream, or a psychotic episode scripted. It's great entertainment, and certainly an escape from reality. It's a 10
