That was an excellent one.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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

Welcome to Woop Woop is a unique comedy, so refreshingly different when the typical film comedy nowadays is so vulgar and predictable. This film is by no means wholesome, as it is sexy as all get out. There are many bizarre characters and plot twists mostly set in a small isolated town in Australia. Its attributes include a frankly remarkable use of Rogers and Hammerstein music as its background score: the songs are remade, very hip yet respectful to their source. If this movie is similar to anything, perhaps it is the musical Li'l Abner since there is a sexy blonde (a very appealing Susie Porter, unknown to American audiences) a handsome, dark-haired man (Jonathon Schaech in a vastly entertaining performance that should have made him a big star. He is extraordinarily good-looking and his comedic delivery is quite good. Think of a male supermodel with a great sense of humor) as well as oddly raggedy dressed townsfolk with weird Dogpatch-like hairstyles. Rod Taylor is both scary and touching as the tyrannical leader and there are small roles placed by Miss Edna's Barry Humphries and a young, muscular bodybuilder , Con Demetriou, who was briefly Princess Di's personal trainer, and an almost unrecognizable Rachel Griffiths. There is also a cameo by Gilligan's Island's Tina Louise. This movie is a little gem and should be seen for a special, funny, weirdly good time.

To really appreciate 'Welcome to Woop Woop', one has to relinquish two things: A traditional view of comedy, and any preference for politically correct representations of countries and their inhabitants. If you can do that, you are going to love this movie. Teddy is a good-looking swindler who seems to have New York conned and wired. When he loses the many expensive Australian birds (that he sells illegally) during a transaction, he takes off for Australia to follow them. All of this takes place during the credits, setting the story up to take place in Australia, where Teddy gives a ride to a gorgeous blonde. After a few days of a mini-romance, Teddy plans to drop her off and go about his business, but agrees to take her to the ocean first. It is at the beach that his companion lures Teddy into saying he loves her, and from there the plot develops into a hilarious, albeit kind of twisted, view of a tiny Australian community and their bizarre inhabitants. Welcome to Woop Woop has its funny moments, but a few dramatic ones, too. These are just dramatic enough to push the plot along but not so much as to overwhelm the comedic element. It eventually *does* become a love story, just not the unrequited one where the movie started. This aspect of the movie is incredibly well done, and isn't at all forced as love stories in black comedies often are. Welcome to Woop Woop doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewers. Its a fun, twisted comedy with unique characters and convincing actors to play them - not an Academy Award winning masterpiece. But it is definitely worth the hour and a half, and several more views, as well.

Even out in the far reaches of country Australia only morons and half-wits talk anything like the characters in this film. These kinds of parochial insulting "parodies" of Australian life are what killed the Australian film industry. We are not a bunch of "bushies" or "surf low lives" we are, for the most part, well educated, intelligent urbane people who live on a giant dry island. Our culture is made up of British, Scottish and Irish immigrants mixed unhappily with the indigenous population and topped up with people from everywhere on earth. To try and "capture" the essence of Australians with these degrading, ill conceived attempts to pump the lowest common denominator (The Castle, Kenny, Razzle Dazzle etc) just shows how skewered the Arts are in Australia to w*nkers - it's truly f***king terrible.

While it's not a musical, it's got a lot of music from Rogers and Hammerstein in it. It ranks up there with movies like Princess Bride and Office Space, that are classic films from the day they debut. There's a few interesting situations in this one, if you're easily offended, you might want to skip it, but for those who enjoy a little black comedy it's great. The summary doesn't do it justice.After leaving NY Teddy is on a trip across Australia to find himself. Instead, he finds love... Or love finds him, accosts him, and takes him back to Woop Woop, a town of odd balls in an anarchist society cut off from the real world. This movie of twists and turns will keep you laughing, crying (and maybe a little disgusted too.)
