Featured review
It's different, unusual...but not noice
The big screen debut of the popular Australian TV comedy about the lives of the titular mother and daughter. While the TV series is a clever documentary style, satire of Australian lower-middle class suburban life, Kath & Kimderella abandons this is a straight fantasy, rom-com adventure with the pair traveling to the fictional micronation of Papilloma.
Released 7 years after the show was cancelled, the show still had a strong following via reruns, so a film adaptation still made sense in 2012. And like most TV movies, Kath & Kimderella faced the dilemma: do you make a 2 hour episode or place these characters in a new situation? Kath & Kimderella chose the latter.
But here's the thing - on the TV show, Kath and Kim were extraordinary characters in a very ordinary situation. That's what worked. They were over-the-top caricatures of Aussie outer-suburbanites in situations that most of us could relate too. Kath & Kimderella makes the fatal error that a lot of board TV comedies do when they go to the big screen and put their extraordinary characters in extraordinary situations - meaning the audience has nothing to connect to.
Australian comedy legends Turner, Riley and Szubanski fail to transport the original show's charm and humour to this big screen fantasy rom-com. The jokes don't land, the script is lazy, the film is too cheap looking justify its location and fairy tale theme and the overall end result is a boring, weak and unfunny pantomime that's an endurance test to sit through and a sad end to a great show.
