Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Paul Durham What can I say about this film!Funny,clever and a credit to Australian films.My love for Malcolm started sixteen years ago when I stumbled upon this gem of film.It was a school night and I had decided to record Big Trouble in Little China on my old Sharpe VHS video recorder(Mums orders due to a school night)When I got home the next night,I was in for a treat.Not only had i just recorded a Kurt Russel classic but my fantastic recorder had carried on taping(good old long play).The tittle Malcolm popped up on the credits and this little Australian film was presented in front of me.I was dazzled and amazed in what I was seeing.How can this little simple man come up with these wacky inventions and make the most funny action sequences seem real.I owe my love for films and Engineering to this classic under rated cinematic genius of a film.Brilliant!!

murpur Malcolm is one of several movies produced by David Parker & Nadia Tass. It won 8 A.F.I. (Australian Film Industry) awards when first produced.Malcolm was one of my favourite movies while growing up, particularly because of my own love of tinkering and model railroads. It and Rikky & Pete are still two of my favourite movies, light heared Australian comedies that didn't shy away from anything, which is the depressing reality of more and more modern movies.As it goes it actually has a few stars cast (local stars though not international) in it.While somewhat simple (in the story this is blamed at least partially on his upbringing by his mother in what is an ethnic neighbourhood) Malcolm has a flair for invention which gets him fired from his job with the Melbourne tram company after he builds a working tram out of spare parts. After being laid off he is told he needs to get a boarder in to support himself financially. Enter Frank an ex-con still upto criminal activities who brings in his girlfriend Judith to live in the other room.It is a good fun family movie which most if not all will enjoy, provided the Australian style of comedy and pacing don't get to you (this is typical of Tass & Parker who tend to put a very Australian feel to all the movies they produced together which means the pace is laid back, the language a touch vulgar, and the whole affair is a realistic depiction of human beings [the car that split in half was actually built it's not just a prop]).

Manicheus One of those small films that grow up on you and canalways brighten one's day. It's a feel good story in a wonderfully understated and modest way, without the Forest Gump gimmicks; we become fond of the characters in this film quickly, especially Malcolm. A great good image of the place that is Melbourne. The brilliant music score ( the Penguin Cafe Orchestre, also those shot from Lisabon, where the gang retires. Just a several shots from Lisabon, the streetcar rid up the hill, which with the previous tram shots from Melbourne becomes sort of underhanded tribute to trams of the world, make this Nadia Tass flick a true little gem.

Blondie_ I had almost forgotten about this movie until I happened upon it while on here. I discovered this movie on TV one night and loved this cute little film. Very funny, charming, creative, touching, great storyline and good acting all around. Unfortunately it appears that it didn't get the publicity and release that it deserved. As others have already said on here, find it if you can, because it is well worth it!!
