It's a great movie. Great to see the Kiwis doing a film about their own country and their own people -- and using their own stars. Great music too. Starts off a little slow but once it gets moving it doesn't slow down. Only problem I'd say, about the Google Play version is that there are no subtitles for the hard of hearing. All movies should have subtitles for the deaf or hard of hearing.

A simple premise played out in an entertaining fashion. Lots of tid bits to savour. Couldn't help but wonder if there would be any dinosaur cameos. Happy to see it again after enjoying it in the cinema.

This was a fun well produced movie. 5 stars is a bit high though.. Some parts were a bit over the top and unbelievable.. Quite a few laughs throughout and good style though.
