Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Steineded How sad is this?
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
lucid_and_lacking Even though many may find this series immature and even sacrilegious at times, i believe that this show is a true pioneer for all that New Zealand and more generally The South Pacific has to offer. Seeing as this region is plagued with the stigma of producing a population of thick heads or the supposedly more affectionate term *coconut* did you really think that NZ would produce a ground breaking series about the fundamental errors with the theory of relativity? Hell no! It produced something that every islander can relate to: a comedy of escapism showing a life wit the boyz, fanatical to irresponsible parenting, corn beef, the occasional taxing of goods at the local convenience store and much much more... so to you gang who wanna bring down this awesome show about life in morning side... ask yourself this... when was the last time America produced an animated series on world peace? (futurama doesn't count), when was the last time the French produced a series about there love of England? such things will never be just as there will never be a series like bro town to let us islanders laugh at our own stupidity without the rest of the world reminding us how stupid we are... so to you gang who find it beneath you... enjoy it for what it is.. not all you believe it should be, coz its a sweet show aye.. MORNINGSIDE 4 LIFE!!PS. To the person who finds the whole series a waste of time... fair enough, that is your opinion.. but there's no need to make crude references to the show and poor comparisons to other series... yes the line "does that mean he's homo ow?" may not be a stroke of genius in your eyes, but did you not think to see the underlying relevance of this line highlighting the ignorance of some islanders to the wider array of sexuality due to religious upbringing or the fact that living with the stigma of stupidity anything different from this such as Vale's new found intelligence may lead to other issues of difference, in this case homosexuality?... and please don't use the excuse that being an Australian makes you unable to the follow the story... you seem to follow the satire and ironies of South Park and The Simpsons just fine even though there are many references specific to America? When was the last time you saw an Amish person waltzing around our countrysides? So please don't try and pass off cultural referencing as a valid excuse, it makes our nation seem ignorant to anything that doesn't have George Bush written all over it and that would be further degradation to our nation...
cj_sheffy Other comments of this show have been harsh, and undeserved. In my opinion to fully appreciate the humor of this cartoon, you need to either live in New Zealand, or have spent enough time in NZ to understand the type of humor, and the cultural references.While 'brotown' is hardly the most intelligent show on TV, it is funny, entertaining, and most importantly, relevant to events, people and culture within New Zealand.Possibly, this show should not be screened, or viewed outside of New Zealand, as other audiences don't seem to appreciate the type of humor that is demonstrated to it's full extent in 'Brotown'.
Steve i dunno what this other fulla is on, but all i can say is, "Not Even...Ow!!!!". Bro town is a timely and pertinent look at the cultural diversity that New Zealand can now finally boast after years of stumbling around in a pseudo-bi-cultural daze.I believe kiwi's are ready to see themselves on screen as they are, and to laugh about it. Sure there are stereotypes present in this show, but that's what makes it so funny. No-one is spared, Maori, Pakeha, Islanders, South Africans, Indians and more are satirised expertly. and as an educated Pakeha, i can say - I laughed. This show is topical - focusing on issues currently causing debate in NZ like CYFS, gambling and racial discrimination.or as JC puts it best - MARVELLOUS!After two excellent series i look forward to many more.MORNINGSIDE FOR LIFE!!
surfing_nuta Bro Town is the Pacific Island version of South Park, which follows the lives of four young Pacific Island boys who live in Morning Side, Auckland, New Zealand. This TV Show is a classic which should be remembered for its one-liners, brilliant characters, and the voices of some of New Zealanders biggest stars. The four boys go through ordinary teenage experiences, including puberty and girls, which leads to dramatic happenings. This show contains stereotypical characters, with appearances from New Zealands news teams and government. This show is definitely one to look out for if you want to have a good laugh. I would like to see this as a movie.
