Diagonaldi Very well executed

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Steve West I watched Bad Eggs with the preconception that it was a mix of serious cop drama and comedy. After watching The Late Show and listening to Martin/Molloy, Tony Martin has come to my attention again through his return to the airwaves on MMM. I am catching up on the self-confessed movie buff's interim works by watching Bad Eggs and reading his book Lolly Scramble.Bob Franklin and Mick Molloy didn't strike me as the two best leading actors for a film, but they perform respectably within the low budget Australian comedy format. The comedy and drama are better integrated than I was expecting, Bad Eggs is basically a tale of two detectives with a capacity for ineptness and clumsiness, who get mixed up in corruption in their own department, the fictional Zero Tolerance Unit of Victoria. There probably actually are individual agencies like this now with a similar lack of transparency, with ASIO recently being expanded and given increased powers. The film gets serious when the two detectives get deeper and deeper in the poo, but the comedic elements return when they strike back with the help of Northey, played by Alan Borough. On the whole Bad Eggs is akin to a film like True Lies on the comedy scale, it is primarily a drama with comedy arising from storyline elements rather than from deliberately inserted jokes. It never manages to excel in any particular area but what was achieved was a film with a professional look, a storyline that maintains interest for the first 90 minutes, and a cast of fairly decent Australian actors and comedians.

SootyGrunter [Minor spoilers!!]I have much respect for Tony Martin, Mick Molloy and Bob Franklin. Tony Martin and Bob Franklin especially so, being, in my opinion, two of the funniest men alive. However, I thought that Bad Eggs was terrible. It had several gags that were extremely funny (Australia's Most Wanted and the 4 colour pen come to mind immediately). But on the whole the movie was not funny and the plot wasn't interesting or clever.Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't "understand" this brand of comedy. Bob Franklin's work on Jimeon, Tony Martin's on the Late Show, and even Mick Molloy's "The Mick Molloy Show" were all Australian television moments that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bad Eggs contained only glimpses of this humor and I didn't care for the plot. I guess I was expecting it to be a whole lot funnier than it actually was. I felt this movie didn't carry enough humour to be a comedy, nor was it successful as a crime/thriller/drama. It did neither well, falling somewhere in the middle . . . . mediocrity.Cmon guys. You should have done much better than that! I was expecting Tony Martin's writing combined with Bob and Mick as the main characters to produce something much better.

Matt Unwin Tony Martin has made a fantastic move from a successful career in radio, television and stand up comedy into film with his first feature Bad Eggs. This movie could have worked just as well without the jokes, the extremely well written and thought out plot was as good as any contained in a serious cop drama.Martins quick wit and fantastic comedy writing skills kept the crowd in stitches but completely engrossed in the story.Probably the best aspect of this film is that it is not laden with jokes that only Australians will understand, it is quite a universal film and may prove to be the most successful Australian comedy overseas, since Crocodile Dundee.If you enjoyed Crackerjack then you'll love Bad Eggs, Mick Molloy has brought his all in this performance and Bob Franklin proves his worth. 10/10

Mad Dog McLagan Australian comedian Tony Martin (famous for the "Martin Molloy Breakfast Show") has made his directorial debut with Bad Eggs.He's always wanted to work in film, and it shows.This film is a magnificent production, with a great story and an even better cast.Martin uses the technique of throwing two moronic heroes into a dramatic story....which turns out to be quite a clever trick.Detectives Ben Kinnear (Martin's comic partner Mick Molloy) and Mike Paddock (Bob Franklin) our are loveably inept heroes, two public dicks working in Victoria's elite Zero Tolerance Unit.A freak accident involving a dead magistrate, a run-away car, and a dozen reckless fire-arm infringements lands them in a lot of trouble; and it doesn't get much better after that, either.Soon, they stumble over evidence of corruption in the ZTU, after their hard-nosed boss (Bill Hunter) and the nasty Detective Wicks (Nicholas Bell) seem strangely unconcerned about a CD said to be in the dead magistrate's car.With help from a nerdy engineer (Alan Brough) and Ben's journalist ex-girlfriend (Judith Lucy) Ben and Mike attempt to get to the bottom of things, but all they get is one disaster after another, until they have no-one to turn to but the Premier himself.(Shaun Micallef)It's a strong plot, but it is constantly riddled with hilarious scenes, such as Ben's bizarre flashbacks to his training with his girlfriend at the Police Academy in the `80s and Mike's high speed chase with the steering wheel lock still attached.I hope that Bad Eggs goes overseas, because it is the best Aussie comedy I have yet seen, and is not a movie to be missed for anyone who loves a good comedy.
