“[A] boozy, floozy Antipodean mash-up of TV staple The Wonder Years and Paul Mazursky’s middle class mores romp Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice…”

Despite not being born until nearly 20 years after _Swinging Safari_ is set, I can still confirm for you that a lot of the movie rang true for my own youth, I recognise a lot of my country in what was put forth here, and felt enriched for it. What I’m not too sure about though is how much _Swinging Safari_ will ingratiate itself with people who aren’t Australian, regardless of timeline. I’d be interested to hear the opinion of someone that fits that bill, because as much as I enjoyed it, I’m concerned that the appeal might not cross that barrier.

Also it really **really** seemed like Swinging Safari incorporated the Paul Jennings’ story _Greensleeves_ into its B-plot, but I can’t find any credit to it which is unusual…

Final rating:★★★½ – I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

A wasted opportunity
As much as this movie looked like a solid offering filled with laughs and an all star cast it ultimately ends up a complete mess of story lines and underdeveloped characters.

It’s filled with needless cutbacks that deliver nothing and scenes that should have been left on the cutting room floor. A lot of scenes I just wondered whether the director was doing favours for mates who wanted a small speaking role to camera.

While non linear story arcs are fantastic this one wasn’t executed well and cut back and forth so many times whatever the story line is meant to be is not evident. What was the main plot line? Was it the whale, the swinging session, the young girl who would seem to be the focus of much of the movie but of whom we learn almost nothing, or the childhood movie that is apparently being made throughout the film? None of these otherwise acceptable plot lines went anywhere.

The parents are all hideous people except maybe Jeremy Sims’ character but again there’s no real purpose or explanation to any of their motivations. Kylie is wasted in her role of a blubbering mess that completely unexplored. The teenage girl is written off as he street ‘bike’ and the other children engage in bratty behaviour with a side of animal cruelty.

I was genuinely excited to see Julian McMahon in an Australian movie and really thought this would be an absolute treat but it just failed miserably. I gave it 4 stars but even that’s probably too generous.

Best Cinema Roller Coaster in a long, long time…
Absolutely BANGIN! (kinda 70’s to BRING IT ON!)

There’s truly no other way to describe this amazing film, but to paraphrase it as one of the best cinema-safari roller coaster adventures ever, wouldn’t be enough to justify it as a great cinematic ride that disregards age; political correctness – urine counteracts! – and/or nostalgia, because it’s so much more than that.

Masterfully balanced with coherently and cohesive snapshots of a plethora of well-developed and superbly acted characters intermingling and intertwining on what seems to be a multi faceted camera being everywhere in that cul-de-sac at the same time, it’s just sheer brilliance. A shout out to the editors on that front, they deserve it big time.

In its full swing – and boy does it swing – it delivers on every frame, in every word, set, memorabilia and costume, but personally to me it delivered the most when I noted that I was being challenged by Swinging Safari and realised I was not watching the same old, same old set up… or at least not the same old way of telling a story… I should’ve known better by reading the writer-director credits. It talked to me on the many creative possibilities that still can be found on this medium by breaking the stale conservative mould story-telling. A brave and risqué move from the writer-director Stephan Elliott. A loud shout out to you too.

Very well played Sir, congratulations on a great achievement. Vibrant, energetic, genuinely heartfelt, delightful and NEVER DULL. Thank you so much for the fabulous ride, and restoring/challenging my funny bone.
