Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
South Island brothers Arthur and Jimmy (Tilly and Johnson) persuade their father to travel to the North Island for the first time in his life to attend a rugby international, but the excitement of an All Blacks victory proves to much for the old guy and his sons are left with a body to transport back to home turf. Cue ferry strikes, stolen vans and inclement weather as the dark comedy turns into a Kiwi variant of Weekend at Bernie's.Author:
