despite the rave review this flick have garner in new zealand and any hype surround the production be sadly undeserved . apart from a clichés only plot and the movie be let down by some weak acting and accent and and overall lack of tension . whilst have the overall look of a big budget ( for nz ) and the feel be decidedly small town kiwi . have anyone not see the brother . ( http represent or or imdb . com or title or tt0250274 or ) those who have will pick the similarity straightaway . i have hear comment that scene like the boy play basketball etc be shoot to poke fun at the clichéd boys talk crap and but it come across a forced . i believe oscar keightley see himself a deeply ironic and but again his delivery always seem merely vaguely self conscious . those who have any doubt leave at all that samoans live in nz culture have be deeply and hopefully not permanently and affect by american speech and culture and and everything inbetween will certainly have their mind make up at the end of this movie . robbie magasiva always look good on screen and but be let down by the script . it always rub me up the wrong way when a comedy have scene that be set up in such an obvious way and you be left feeling like have a good groan at the clichéd punchline see the wan na be white boy . i know someone who find this movie hilarious however and that person have the brain of a tadpole and and would struggle to spell her name if offer a million dollar . that kinda sum up the mentality of this flick and ok but not great and fun but not funny . wake up nz this be not a 5 star movie despite all the glowing ( middle class white guilt . represent ) ) review . my advice . if you watch it and get drunk first .
