Barrackers!
Review by Jessica Hurt.
Die-hard Aussie Rules fans will love Matt Byrnes
hilarious four-man footy riot Barrackers.
Its fast and furious fun as director/writer/actor
Byrne takes perennial wooden spooners the Fernwood Ferrets through
the highs and lows of a single do-or-die match.
In a series of lightning-fast scene changes, his
four-man team switches roles from beer-swilling yobbos to umbrella-waving
grannies, know-all commentators, pom-pom throwing cheerleaders and
snobby members.
Joined by Chris Kendall, Glenn Butcher and Glen Christie,
Byrne leads from the front. An up-beat soundtrack and slick choreography
help build a match atmosphere.
The Bottom Line: Fast, furious and fun dig at a slice
of Aussie life.
