Wonderful character development!

Sick Product of a Sick System

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.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Lawrence (John Luc) is a teen from a Chinese family living in Australia. He has taken up with a con artist and his daughter who he finds attractive. He teaches Lawrence the art of the con, using truisms like "You can't cheat and honest man" to justify the scams.This is a light Australian drama/comedy that was mildly clever and entertaining. In addition to learning about cons, Lawrence gets a valuable lesson about life. Not "The Sting" or "Brothers Bloom" but enjoyable nonetheless.From IMDB: "The film is the adaptation of comedian/actor Lawrence Leung's critically acclaimed award-winning one-man theater show SUCKER. The original live show was a critical and sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Opera House."Guide: No F-words, sex, or nudity.

This is the type of movie that you would watch once and never again. It was as if the actors were really stiff and didn't play a natural role, leading us viewers wondering why the heck don't they just act normal!? Acting is very average and screenplay quite stale. The story line is okay, but probably could have not been so predictable. From the very beginning you already knew how the movie will play out. John Luc doesn't fit the charter too well at all. It was really cringe worthy and so many times i just wanted to turn off the movie but i stuck it out. However, did love that it was filmed in Australia. Well done for that. Lets just hope they don't make a follow up of this movie!Overall, it's an okay movie that could have been better?

Cheesy screenplay, main protagonist has a really weird accent. I have never heard a Chinese guy speak like that. It's like one of those YouTube user providers who force a fake British accent that just sounds lame.I suppose it's the character, but the character is a loser through and through. It made me cringe to see a negative stereotype being perpetuated. Overall, the story seemed like it was written by a high school student. There were a few (very few) redeeming scenes that might have belonged in a better class movie.

I'm proud to say that I was apart of the lucky group of people who got to see this splendid movie at its premiere and boy was it amazing. This movie blew my socks off, literally. After the movie finished I had to search the entire cinema just to find them because they just flew right off my feet.The story is an inspirational tale of young Asian teenager (YouTuber, John Luc AKA MyChonny) trying to find true calling in life after he's caught cheating on his medical exam. He eventually finds it learning how to scam people from master swindler (Timothy Spall aka the rat in Harry Potter) and his sometimes hot daughter (Lily Sullivan, great actress). This is one of the few Australian movies that make Aussie cinema proud! (Unlike 'Australia'.. what on Earth happened there?)It's YouTuber MyChonny's first official acting role and you can tell he was at ease from all of his years of experience acting as Asian mum, Asian dad, Asian boy, Asian girl and the list goes on. In conclusion the movie is a interesting, well thought out story by Lawrence Leung and Ben Chessell did an amazing job directing it, his cinematography skills are truly something special.I highly recommend this movie!P.S. Did anyone notice how buff Chonny looked? WHAT A BOD!!
