Take Away (2003)

Take Away: Directed by Marc Gracie. With Vince Colosimo, Stephen Curry, Rose Byrne, Nathan Phillips. Tony Stilano and Trev Spackneys both own, live over and work in adjoining take-away fish shops in Melbourne. Although they have fallen into a habitual rivalry based on a cause long forgotten, the pair unite when the multinational fast-food outlet “Burgies” unveils a new store directly opposite the twin fish u0026 chips shops.

“Alright, so not every Australian movie is all that good. Yes, maybe there have actually been very few with much merit. Take Away however is an absolute bomb, qualifying as one of the worst movies Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. I wanted to like it. I figured Iu0026#39;d give it a fair go. Iu0026#39;ve even met one of the screen writers Dave Ou0026#39;neil so I feel kind of a traitor giving this movie a bad review, but… The plot is fairly thin (I wonu0026#39;t bother relating it… read the synopsis), which I can forgive: there are plenty of movies that can cover that up with a few decent jokes. Unfortunately, Take Awayu0026#39;s jokes cover its plot up like a $2 prostituteu0026#39;s skirt. Probably the only laughs that came from the 6 other people in the cinema was at the poor acting and dialogue. Take Away goes down like a week old Dim sim … You might understand that joke if you see the film but the jokeu0026#39;s not worth it.”
