7/10
Not quite as great as it's made out to be.
30 January 2003
Dear Viewer - The film 'Australian Rules' is an enjoyable enough excursion. The plot, the whacky characters, accents and Cinematography are all 'ocker' enough to make sure that the world knows where it comes from. The trouble for me was that this was just a by-the-numbers effort. The lead characters have been applauded nation wide although the only true stand-outs were the mother and the (white) best friend. Rent this (as it won't be shown in the cinema; it only had the shortest of runs here) if you want the repetitive glance at small-town Australia. I only hope that some-one can do our great land justice. Still, it's better than some of the nonsense slumming about.
