Clevercell Very disappointing...

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

neil-89611 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?

Kathleen Connolly Stone This movie was the terrible love child of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Hills have Eyes II. There is only one way to prove that you have watched it all the way to the end, if you watched it, you know what I mean. The acting was believable, the characters are so bizarre that it had to be an act, although there possibly are people who are that strange. Unfortunately, this movie has given me a stereotype of Australia that I won't be able to get out of my head any time soon. I will probably watch again in the future, if only to prove to myself that I have an peculiar and unusual view of entertainment and to see how many people I can get to watch it. Everyone should watch it at least once.

Edgar Soberon Torchia Among the fans of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and professionals and admirers of musical theater, Welcome to Woop Woop must be anathema. For those indifferent to musicals and who have never heard a song by R&H, or watched The Sound of Music (perhaps a rare breed), this must be a strange sexual comedy because they miss half of the jokes. It can be quite enjoyable for people who have had a minimum of exposure to musical plays, and songs like "Shall We Dance" or "Chop Suey". But for those who can sing along "Do-Re-Mi" or have seen "The King and I" at least twice, this is great fun. There is surely a "gay touch" behind all the proceedings that may not appeal to everyone (no wonder coming from the man who directed The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and with a leading actor who had an early career in Gregg Araki's films), but that is one of the best aspects about it. Schaech plays a young American lost in Australia, trapped by a sexy girl into Woop Woop, a closed community ruled by her father, a tough ex miner who loves R&H and runs a company of dog food, the only industry in hot, dry, dusty Woop Woop. Enjoy.

ashyrenay 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.
