Oh my God, Australia. How can a film be this magnificently awful? And what accent is Kidman sporting?

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Only 10 minutes in and tears of laughter are running down my face.

ETA: Hugh Jackman had better start taking his shirt off soon is all I can say.

ETA 2: Aaaand he does.

ETA 3: Was the writer aiming for the worst written film of all time award? I do hope he was.

ETA 4: "This land has a strange power." Indeed. Indeed. GOD EVEN WITH MY ALMOST UNLIMITED APPETITE FOR CHEESY CRAP, I AM NOT SURE I CAN FINISH THIS.

ETA 5: "Drove! Drove! Drove the cattle to Darwin!" THE ACTING. OH GOD THE ACTING.

ETA 6: "Woman, do you know what you've done?" It is so hard to say what is worse: the writing or the acting. Both hurt my brain. And I am delighted to know that every single person is Australia is gnarly or eccentric. Or both.

ETA 7: Is that Faramir? Hellooo Faramir.

ETA 8: Why is Faramir so evil? This makes me sad.

ETA 9: You all know the rubbish I watch on a regular basis. It should then be a sign of how awful this film is that I had to turn it off in the middle out of a sense of shame for everyone involved. I will admit that I turned it back on 20 minutes later, but only with my finger firmly fixed on the ff button. Even Kidman's frocks cannot save this one. And she has lovely frocks.

Embarrassingly, she actually is Australian AND can do a legit British accent, so IDEK what the fuck was up with that shit.

Is there any reason for those of us who don't go for Hugh Jackman at all to watch this cinematic masterpiece?

Hmm...I'm not sure you're supposed to be laughing that hard during this movie...

Heh. This viewing is so G.I. Joe looks glorious, isn't it.

I thought Australia was the one where Hugh Jackman wears really tight pants, too.

Oh, goody! This is next in my Netflix queue!

I liked it.

I really love Baz Luhrmann's films and I was so disappointed with this. It was so crazy awful and Faramir was a total douche.

I have a few Australian friends who kind of had the same reaction. "wtf is this?

Bwahaha I feel the same way. As an Australian I was cringing a little and I had such high hopes because Baz did such a great job with Romeo & Juliette and Moulin Rouge but "Australia" was really bad. I didn't post about it as a bad moofie though because of many people on my LJ seemed to like it so much. The acting was baaaaaaaaaad and the scene where Kidman's making all these squeaking noises as the kangaroos were hopping through the desert just made me die a little on the inside :D
