Too much of everything

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

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

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Awful...Its really just awful. Not funny, has beens re-gashing sketch comedy that only ever worked in the early nineties and only ever worked for about 5 minutes. Why FOXTEL would bother is beyond contemplation. The characters are weak and uninteresting. It throws back to old Aussie sketch comedy moments that were entertaining (but only slightly) back when they first aired and were only watched by a handful then, and expects us to remember them 15 years later. Im not 50. I cant say enough about how bad this show is. The actors are washed up, no bodies who ran out of any ability to be original years ago. Its a shame that these Australian comedians don't learn from the masters like Rod Sitch etc. The pioneers of originality. Rates 1-10.

Completely cringe-worthy. Very difficult to watch for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Some of the comedians involved have to be better than what the show produces. I cannot believe that they would watch an episode of the show and be proud that they were involved.Even the sketches chosen for ads on Foxtel are not at all funny or clever. They provide no motivation to watch the show and I would suggest Comedy Channel really suggest reviewing it.I would not recommend this show to anyone, young or old.

Open Slather contains amazing Australian short skits that will keep you cackling forever. Almost all the skits are parodies of things. We see in the first episode; Government parodies (gina Rinehart, Add parodies (jeep), Music video (love me like you do) parodies, TV show parodies (downton abbey) All of these are carefully and creatively executed. Many people expect something on the lines of Chris Lilley's ''jam'ie' or 'jonah' shows. But Open Slather is almost identical to 'fast forward' or any other skit show. Open Slather is currently my favorite show and i sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode! :D I recommend this show to almost everyone!

Any advertising for this sketch show clearly seemed to imply that it was going to be a contemporary version of 'Big Girl's Blouse' : i.e. Jane Turner, Magda Szubanski and Gina Riley. (and to some extent Marg Downey)Not so much. Its like they are sprinkled here and there to prop up what is otherwise a very average and lackluster comedy show. The writing really lets it down, there seems to be zero spontaneity or improv and the players are treading through scripts that might have seemed okay to the writers trying to come up with something, but the ideas were not 'big' or clever enough to carry the whole sketch. Glenn Robins was an embarrassment in a sketch about 'Dad - dancing' that felt flat, the skit about the weather forecast was just awful. I felt ripped-off when Magda, Jane and Gina made the very odd appearance because it should have been all about them with the others supporting them!The end, where facebook messages to Domino's pizza while footage of desperate refugees played was the only slightly honest and astute observation I noticed, but it was as depressing as it was out of place.Gawd ... where'd they find the writers? Go and find some open mic'ers maybe give some fresh perspectives a go!
