Anecdotes
Actor and comedian Shaun Micallef was characteristically tongue in cheek when discussing his role. He said: "I based my character on Richard III, assuming he was played by an appalling actor who couldn't remember his lines." Micallef had been loved for his TV characters, but big screen comedy presented a challenge. "It certainly is more embarrassing if you get it wrong. In television a failed gag can be passed off as whimsy - or sweetened in audio to give the impression people actually laughed at it. No such trickery or fudging with film."

Crédits fous
No goats were injured during the making of this film, except for Aussie Carmen who developed a drinking problem.

Terrific film- funny and moving!

This is a very funny movie, with hilarious performances from a host of famous Australian comedians, especially Kevin Harrington, HG Nelson, Micallef and Brian Dawe (of the Clarke-Dawe interviews series on '7.30 Report). I'm very surprised by the film's low score on IMDB. As some critics pointed out at the time of the film's release, the scene between Micallef and John Singleton (Micallef's fake political ad) is just about the funniest thing I can remember seeing in an Australian comedy. The film copped some flack when it came out, but I think most of that was tied up with the very bad rap most Australian comedies got in 2003. There was also a bit of controversy when the film was chosen to open the Sydney Film Festival (a pretty snooty affair usually reserved for 'arthouse movies'). Over time, I really hope this one will be up there, with 'The Castle', 'Big Steal' and a few others, as a classic example of laid-back, Aussie comedy. If you get a chance, don't miss it! Ted Emery (Fast Forward, Kath and Kim) has done it again.
