Review of Backyard Ashes (2013) by James B — 21 Mar 2015

You don't have to be from Down Under or any British influenced cricket playing principality to enjoy this movie. The typical local bush language and British deadpan dry humor is present throughout.

This is more of an intellectual buddy comedy where strong bonds are not wasted on cheap humor. This outing is a prime example of the oft underrated and highly entertaining cinema that comes from Australia.

I only wish more cinema like this could make it to the U.S. Move over slob humor and block buster CGI action. This slightly unpolished gem is an unqualified success in its own right.
