Just a gorgeous, funny, poignant, story line, the car chase is probably a little far fetched but what's a movie without a good car chase. This movie has got everything. My favourite movie.

Such a good film. I watched in it in the cinema when I was seven, now five years later I watch it everyday. It's so funny and heartfelt. Very sad when Bella and Zag die and when Hec gets arrested.

Loved it! Since im a kiwi myself im glad they made this movie! The sadest part was when they had to shoot zag so he didn't have to suffer. I bet toipuck (however it's spelled) must of been lonely whe zag died.
