Reception
Film critic Paul Byrnes wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald; "Grentell has good timing and an inventive, unpredictable eye for a gag. He has a feel for the dryness of Australian humour, without the jingoism." The film [3] earned a profit and [4] grossed over $100,000 in just four cinemas.[5][6]
