What It Is: Insane Aussie comedy based on the Aussie TV show, Pizza.Why I Watched It: Tara Tainton told me to.
What I Thought: It's goofy, it's weird, it's off-the-wall, and it's fucked up. I like it!
Fat Pizza is sort of like Half-Baked and Harold & Kumar smashed up with a National Lampoon movie. All the jokes are throw-away one liners, but most are good enough to be worth a laugh. You'll spend half your time and laughing, half your time shaking your head in pity for some of the truly awful jokes, and half your time trying decipher the Australian accents. Yes, that is a lot of halves. Logic doesn't really apply to a movie like this.
I think Fat Pizza's most endearing quality is the narration and frequent asides by it's main character. Paul Fenech wrote and starred in the movie and Fenech seems to be a truly funny man. His commentary and mannerisms are part of what makes Fat Pizza so special. Or specially fucked, if you'd rather.
Highlights: Cop jokes, bad puns, good fun with stereotypes, and a bunch of WTF?! and OMG!! moments.
Who Should See It: Comedy fans, especially fans of low brow humor and drug comedies like Half-Baked or The Chapelle Show.
How Soon: Take your time, save it for a rainy day or just stick it in your Netflix queue.

Any word on if there really is a Part II in the making?
The more I think about this movie, the more I want to watch it again. It was crazy silly stupid, but it was a good, fun way to kill a couple of hours.
