All I have to say to those who keep forking out good money for this junk is (to paraphrase my father): If you keep encouraging them, they'll just keep doing it.

The set-up is simple enough at best. The execution is simple-minded at worst.

The writing/producing team behind 2007 Brit farce Death At A Funeral transplants most of the same plot points but none of the laughs...

Olivia Newton John is an absolute hoot as mother in law Barbara in this madcap romantic comedy that brings together English and Australian humour in earthy earnest.

Directed by Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla) with his indefatigable joie de vivre and wicked sense of humour, the film is a sure fix if you need a laugh

The humour never rises above the level of burp, puke and fart jokes ...
- Marc Lee, Daily Telegraph, August 30, 2012
Frivolous stuff, but there's a sour edge to the silliness, with far more gay panic colouring the jokes than you'd expect from the director of 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.'
- Guy Lodge, Time Out, August 28, 2012
As appealing as a cigarette in a beer can.

Bed, barf and beyond ...
- Antonia Quirke, Financial Times, August 30, 2012
Hateful characters, stupid situations, woeful filmmaking.
