We Can Be Heroes

Chris Lilley is My Hero
This is one of the funniest things I've ever watched. I loved Summer Heights High and heard about We Can Be Heroes from an Australian friend. I couldn't stop watching. Chris is absolutely brilliant as Ricky Wong and Pat Mullins. His mannerisms and speech patterns are perfection. I can't wait to see his next project.

Also called "The Nominees" on Sundance Channel. For fans of the original Kath & Kim, UK Office, Flight of the Conchords
If you are a fan of the original Australian Kath & Kim, The Games, or the original The Office, you should love this series! It's a mockumentary that deals with five Aussies as they strive to be awarded "Australian of the Year". In America, it was briefly seen on Sundance Channel as "The Nominees" a couple year ago. It's subtle, brilliant humor that gets funnier as you get to know the characters more and more. And dare I say, you may shed a tear by the end! Highest recommendation!

One important note, the box and disc say "PAL", but I was able to play this just fine on my non-modified American Xbox360. Haven't tried a normal DVD player.

Good Show, Bad Price
We Can Be Heroes is another great series from Chris Lilley. Personally, I found it a bit short, being only 6 episodes long. Though I liked Angry Boys better, We Can Be Heroes was a good way to spend an afternoon. The item shipped ridiculously quickly; I received it 3 days after placing my order. I played it on my MacBook, and had no issues watching the DVD. After I got it, I must admit I was a tad disappointed, only because the series was so short and I spent nearly $50 on it. I would have been okay paying $25 for it, but after watching it I am definitely dissatisfied with the price I paid for it.
