I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Admirable film.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I'd never heard of this movie, never knew Rod Taylor was Australian (this from someone who saw Hitchcock's "The Birds" in a theater during its initial release) and I really need to see it again when it is not interrupted every five minutes by a string of commercials, as on the Sinclair (Charge!) station where I did see it. No need to say much more; the other reviews tell you as much as you need to know, but I will say the opening sequence in New York probably probably nails the world's view of American gun culture and the two endings (preceding and following the closing credits) are worth the wait.I did love the throwaway line about the asbestos mine burning for weeks.

Straight to video? Straight to the bin. I think we are over these over stereotypical Australian characterisations and this trash should be the last film of this type inflicted on the rest of civilisation. What on earth persuaded some of the lead names to even consider this tripe?

I stumbled across this outrageous movie early one morning during a free weekend of HBO, and couldn't take my eyes off it. It was light and fluffy, but had a very subtle edge to it, thanks to a nuanced performance by the legendary Rod Taylor (who I did not recognize, at first). With some great pieces featuring classic showtunes, it had me guessing the entire time. I was should have known it was directed by the same person who did "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."Shot in the Australian Outback, it has the trademark humor of most movies from Down Under. Plus, you'll likely catch some notable cameos. I don't know why this doesn't get more airplay on some cable stations, and it seems largely forgotten, but hopefully that will change.Definitely catch this, if you can!

To really appreciate 'Welcome to Woop Woop', one has to relinquish two things: A traditional view of comedy, and any preference for politically correct representations of countries and their inhabitants. If you can do that, you are going to love this movie. Teddy is a good-looking swindler who seems to have New York conned and wired. When he loses the many expensive Australian birds (that he sells illegally) during a transaction, he takes off for Australia to follow them. All of this takes place during the credits, setting the story up to take place in Australia, where Teddy gives a ride to a gorgeous blonde. After a few days of a mini-romance, Teddy plans to drop her off and go about his business, but agrees to take her to the ocean first. It is at the beach that his companion lures Teddy into saying he loves her, and from there the plot develops into a hilarious, albeit kind of twisted, view of a tiny Australian community and their bizarre inhabitants. Welcome to Woop Woop has its funny moments, but a few dramatic ones, too. These are just dramatic enough to push the plot along but not so much as to overwhelm the comedic element. It eventually *does* become a love story, just not the unrequited one where the movie started. This aspect of the movie is incredibly well done, and isn't at all forced as love stories in black comedies often are. Welcome to Woop Woop doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewers. Its a fun, twisted comedy with unique characters and convincing actors to play them - not an Academy Award winning masterpiece. But it is definitely worth the hour and a half, and several more views, as well.
