Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Bubby (Nicholas Hope) has spent thirty years trapped in the same small room, tricked by his mother. One day, he manages to escape, and, deranged and naive in equal measures, his adventure into modern life begins.As someone who likes strange and unusual films, I have to say this is among the most strange and unusual. For those who can be offended, there is plenty to be offended by here. Just in the first few minutes there is animal cruelty, full frontal male nudity and incest. So, yeah, this is not for everyone.And as the film goes on, it gets... well, not sure what it gets. Some have called this the Australian "Forrest Gump", which is not really accurate, but in some ways very accurate. Bubby is not so much stupid as just not aware of the world, and yet he seems to successfully manage it...

Bare with me. You take the premise of Forest Gump. A simple, yet harmless, man/child who is thrown into situations which he doesn't fully comprehend. Then you take away anything life affirming and replace it with the depravity of human existence. You turn love into sex, no real emotion, just big tits. That is the rough tone and premise of Bad Boy Billy.Being held captive for his entire life our protagonist, Billy, is set free into a world he doesn't understand. With no education or idea of what the world outside is, he attempts to find his way. Along the path he meets various people, some who help, others who don't. He bumbles through it all not knowing exactly what is happening and mimicking his surroundings. It's awkward and heartbreaking as he faces each encounter not knowing the social conventions, some broadly comedic, but still jet black, and others depressingly tragic. As the film progresses he faces increasingly bizarre scenario's, and ironically, in one of the final encounters he is able to arguably handle the situation better than an 'average' person. I'm not sure what the films message is, I've only seen it once. But it will effect you. Much like Rolf de Heer's film 'Alexandra's Project' it presents you with a difficult premise and then allows the narrative to play out. It doesn't condone or promote. No character feels two dimensional. Some aren't as well drawn out as Bubby but still fell natural. It's also very well shot, lit, directed, acted etc but not in an overly stylised way. This film wants to focus on the characters rather than give you real overt cinematic style. The film is, however, a little too long. Some scenes could be trimmed to shorten the running time. However that is just personal preference as I prefer 90 minutes just because I'm fidgety. The ending may seem a little random or unjustified due to the course of events but isn't incomprehensible. Overall the film is an interesting watch that explores something different from a deprived angle. As I said, a depraved Forest Gump.

I love dark comedy and twisted sick humor, however there is one taboo subject that I personally can not cross over to find any humor in.The abuse from the mother and the incest in the beginning was tragic and totally killed the tone for the rest of the movie as far as humor. At least for me.And I'm quite open minded w/a sick sense of humor and love dark humor. I loved World's Greatest Dad. The film itself was worth seeing and was well done and well acted. I couldn't give it higher than a six due to how repulsed I felt with old sagging mommy banging her son. If you can handle that then the rest of it is will be easy.

This movie is incredible! So incredible, in fact, it was the 1st movie I felt compelled to write a review. Bad Boy Bubby is not for the faint of heart. Its dark, twisted and sick. Right from the get go you are lured in wanting to look away from the screen but are unable to do so. Never, in all of the movies I've watched have I been so deeply touched, disturbed and elated all at the same time. What an emotional roller coaster! One second you'll be crying and the next you'll be jumping for joy. This movie will shatter many of you views on society and people in general. While some of Bubby's actions are wrong, you cannot blame him. He was denied ever basic human right from the day he was born. This is a must watch and is now in my top 10!
