Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

drunkard-1 I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming when I read the other (positive) reviews.I am a huge fan of Kevin Bloody Wilson and I watched this movie because he was in it. The problem is that there is nothing new. The whole movie (or at least as much of it as I was able to drag myself through) is just a string of all the old Little Johnny jokes that we told each other in primary school, i.e. they are not really that funny as an adult.With all the swearing, it's definitely not for children so cut out the only audience that would laugh and now where's the comedy? If you have never heard any little Johnny jokes, then you will probably enjoy it, but if you are familiar with the character, then don't waste your time.

HighJunk Reviews Let's get some things straight, this movie ain't for those sensitive types of people. Hell no, "Little Johnny the Movie" aims to outrageously make people cringe at the sounds of those aimless jokes.Vulgarity aside, this movie is pretty funny. Jokes about sex, love, family, and whole lot of other stuff make it worthwhile to watch. It's like an Australian version of South Park but doesn't seem too preachy. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously which makes it more fun. It has silly moments and even sillier characters.Now the plot itself is simple enough. Johnny wants to win the Soapbox Derby to buy himself a bike to win over his love. But problems arose when his Uncle has no more money for the farm and Johnny's intentions on winning suddenly shift to saving his uncle's life.The accents may ward off some viewers though. You can clearly hear the thick Australian accents from the voice actors which may confuse some. But aside from that, this movie is a recommended viewing over and over again.

georgepanagiotis76 Stumbling across this little gem I was surprised by it's originality and wonderful setting which feels like the cartoons of the 50's 60's without updating material for the the sake of being 'cool'. Those who remember the sixties will find much here that is pleasantly familiar, from characters, design, music, and socio political attitudes of the time (some of them not particularly politically correct). The gags come thick and fast and perhaps, you may have heard some of them before in one variation or another but there are others that you don't see coming and they're great! For any fan of the jokes you will not be disappointed and for those who don't, it may not be for you. The documentary style intro is a unique approach to this kind material and ingeniously sets up the lead characters and inserts them into the storyline set in a bizarre outback Australian town known as Gallangatta. The plot is simple, saccharine sweet and imbued with an innocence that offsets the otherwise bawdy humor. Little Johnny becomes convinced that if he wins a soapbox derby that he will be also able to to win the heart of Little Mary, the classroom beauty. Along the way, his Uncle, Kevin, offers him well intentioned but hilariously misguided and inappropriate advice. The Australian accents are thick and full of colloquialisms that may alienate some viewers but at the same time make this a genuine oddity that celebrates not only the jokes but an era when these types of jokes were only told behind closed doors and with impolite company! A very funny throwback from the good old wrong days!

Melody Ayres-Griffiths Having made Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson's Christmas album pretty much compulsory annual listening I was curious as to what would happen ought said inspiration result in a cartoon. Unfamiliar myself with the whole 'Little Johnny' series of jokes, I kind of went on into this one based solely on an idea of Wilson's humour. There I was not disappointed. If you want to see dunny gags and schoolchildren using the F-word inappropriately this is going to be quite (and repeatedly) rewarding and on this basis alone I wholeheartedly recommend it.That said, it's a bit long. To meet feature length, they really pushed their 80 minutes, but a 45 minute 'special' on one of those FoxTel channels that doesn't mind the foul language might have been a better bet (and maybe better funded!). A series of amusing but non-topical jokes and some antics involving a rooster pad the time but detract (my partner fell asleep) from the core premise of the work: Johnny wants to win a go-cart race to get the girl.That last bit does go entertainingly well besides the maddening insistence to apply Motion- rendered DOF to animation. I like my cartoons depth-of-field free.There's a few tasteless but yet chronically appropriate ethnic jokes (and I think one gay one) and it makes families from the 1960's a bit less spank-happy when they were (I grew up in the late 1970's and had my hide tanned seemingly daily for crying out loud!) but generally, it was a fun if perhaps unnecessarily extended ride, and I give it 7 out of 10.
