Functions best as a comedy of cultural differences and prejudices. Go to Full Review Ray Conlogue Globe and Mail 03/22/2002

This isn't a terrible film, just an uneven one. Go to Full Review Burl Burlingame Honolulu Star-Advertiser 07/05/2011
3/4
Many of the jokes are big production numbers that appear out of nowhere, and some are appallingly cruel in a brawny, slap-your-back kind of way. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 11/09/2005

The failure to blend very disparate elements satisfactorily marks the movie...Parts have an oddball charm, but too much of it is either flat or unappetizing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/26/2010 Siam Sunset je australijska crna komedija o nekakvom Englezu (radi kao dizajner boja u nekoj firmi) kome zena pogine u vrlo bizarnoj nesreci (sto je ujedno i jedna od najboljih scena smrti EVER). Nekoliko mjeseci nakon toga na tomboli dobija desetodnevni boravak u Australiji i odlazi tamo na nagovor svog cace ne bi li se nekako oraspolozio nakon teskog gubitka. Medjutim, ispostavlja se da kompanija koja je organizovala putovanje podsjeca na nesto iz Alana Forda, a neobicne nesrece nastavljaju da se desavaju oko njega. Meni je ovo odlican film. Jes' da je u pitanju zapravo neka mjesavina drame i crne komedije, a nije urnebesna komedija kao sto bi se moglo zakljuciti iz sinopsisa, ali film je skroz zabavan, sa odlicnim glumcima i australijskim setingom koji uvijek sam po sebi donosi ogromnu kolicinu poena.

See more 01/18/2010 Les australiens nous ont habitué à des films barrés et bien ils ont remis ça. L'histoire de l'homme le plus chanceux du monde voit son entourage maudit pas la malchance. Sa femme la première morte écrasée par un frigo tombé d'un avion. La chance l'emmène en Australie et les ennuis continuent... Une commédie rafraichissante. See more 12/16/2009 I thought this movie was brilliant. Elements of road movie, black comedy and romance in the Aussie outback. Distinctive and quirky, this is a film that definitely made an impression on me. Great concept, well acted, neat story. Highly recommend. Would be up in the top of my list of favourites and must sees. See more 12/05/2009 very funny and clever See more 09/22/2009 Adorava ver de novo! Fantasporto!!! See more Read all reviews
