"This film has got a lot of good bits. It's got bogans and penguins and toasted sandwiches. It's got a ginger cat and best mates. It's got a really little dolphin. It's got wicked t-shirts and hand brake skids. It's got sea lions. It's got a really cool lighthouse. Two Little Boys is a cheeky comedy starring Hamish Blake from Australian duo Hamish & Andy and Bret McKenzie from New Zealand's acclaimed Flight of the Conchords."

Two Little Boys isn't your average movie, and it isn't what Aussie audiences would expect of the cheeky Hamish Blake (of radio duo Hamish & Andy). It really is far from the normal!

The film follows Nige (McKenzie) and his best mate Deano's (Blake) riotous misadventures as they struggle with their imploding long-term friendship which has been put under pressure by an unfortunate accident involving a hot meat pie, the quiet town of Invercargill and the untimely death of a Scandinavian soccer star. Nige chucks the dead body in a nearby road works hole and runs to Deano for help. Trouble is, Deano's not really the guy you should turn to in a crisis.

The film was shot in Invercargill and the Catlins, on the remote southerneastern tip of New Zealand's south island. Costuming for this film was fantastic. Especially the bogan 90's mullets that even give Billy Ray a run for his money!

I must admit that Two Little Boys was a bit of a let down for me. After hearing such great things about it following its New Zealand screenings and beyond, I did have high hopes that it would become a classic comedy. The on screen chemistry between Blake and McKenzie was the only thing that kept the movie going beside the frazzled story line.

To be fair though, I, along with most other people seeing this film, were just watching for Hamish Blake's performance who I honestly couldn't take seriously throughout! All in all, I really wonted to like this but I couldn't. A very different movie which will probably hit a bargain bin near you soon...
