Low budget and a bit amateurish but... also quite funny.
I don't really know why the ratings for this movie is so low (at the moment of typing this) as a I thought it was fairly amusing and did make me laugh a bunch of times. Perhaps it was the whole 'presented by the director of Mighty Ducks' label on the poster that made people expect more of a spectacle than it was. The director of said movie is merely an executive producer of this movie, which 9 times out of 10 in movies mean that all they do is help finance it (for a percentage of the future income gross) and most times they don't actually have any involvement with the making of the movie, whether or not that was the case with this movie I don't know but I imagine so. No the directors of this movie are rookies (more or less) and so is most of the cast, with most of them including the directors only been involved with a couple of shorts before this full length movie. And although it does show, for the more part it doesn't really matter as the movie manages to entertain, which is after all the goal of any movie particularly a comedy so it's not too hard to overlook the flaws. An Australian movie inspired by American sports comedies like Hot Rod (2007) and Dodgeball (2004) with similar type of jokes and gags. So yeah if you find the idea of people competing by running backwards (who doesn't?) and you can overlook some flaws then you could do a lot worse than watching this.
Great low budget local movie
Written and directed by two mates filmed in their local town (Colac Victoria) This is a unique tale of the rare sport of backwards running with some great cameos - Irrewarra Beeac Football Club and Steve Moneghetti. This low budget flick will entertain you through out.
