Someone recommended this to me and it was absolutely superb.
I don't know why I hadn't heard of it before, so I thought I'd send it on...

We watched it as a family (youngest being 10yo) and it was great fun, if a little sweary and animal-deathy in places 🙂

Agreed. The rare thing of a real feelgood film that isn't cheesy or patronising.

Heard good reports but I think the trailer has just shown me most of the film. 😕

Sorry Drac. I haven't watched the trailer. I don't tend to want to know anything about films. Shame if true.
Can you please moderate my post so that it says "Spolers: The trailer contains a lot of plot details, so watch with caution."

Cheers!

This is available on Netflix now, so is queued up on "My List" waiting for a spare evening with the missus 🙂

Taika Waititi is a bloody genius.

He did "What we do in the shadows", "Boy" and "Eagle vs Shark" - all highly recommended.

Bloomin brilliant film. He's doing Thor next so I have higher hopes for it than previous Thor films

Watched it yesterday on Netflix as it happens. Loved it....
