Everything from the sound track, to the clothes, to the hairstyle just reeked 80's/90's Australia. Great cast, decent script, bogan and wog humor, it just doesn't get better than this.
I'm not saying it's the greatest Australian movie, far from it, but it is a great non-offensive light entertainment.
A glimpse into a particular time and period of Australia. I would go as far as saying this The Big Steal is like a documentary on the Australian culture during the 80's/90's. Not the story, but the lifestyle. If only the Australian film industry can bring out some more of these quality feel good comedies. I mean i love a depressing tale about something or other as much as the next guy.. and lets face it, Australia pumps a lot of these visions of depression.
I guess there isn't a market for Teen Romance/Comedies in Australia no more.
