Absolutely hilarious. Follow a lazy yobbo while he gets caught up in a lawn bowls club's dispute with developers. From 1970's prices on beer, to a dope fuelled rampage around the green. It really is a great movie. Mick Malloy does a great job in this movie and there's constant laughs throughout. If you are from a bowls club you especially have to watch this!! :)

A rather funny little film even though I detest Aussie films for their lack of class. Thats is really all you can say about CrackerJack it is funny. Story about members of the club trying to keep the club going and how the go about fighting to keep it. It seems that bowels is a action packed game, go figure.

A bit of a swing and a miss here, as Mick Molloy stars as Jack Simpson, a bit of a schemer who winds up playing lawn bowls. Molloy's type of humour will appeal to some, but others will find him more rude and annoying than anything else. Fans of Australian comedies would do themselves a favour to check out The Castle instead.

I enjoyed Mick Molloy's Crackerjack, but I can't say it is a classic, or one of those movies that I'll watch over and over. It was a bit of lighthearted enjoyment, appealing directly to the Australian sense of humour. Mick Molloy and Judith Lucy did a good job, but lacked any real screen chemistry.

Well this movie was just down right funny! Thats is really all you can say about CrackerJack it is funny, Very funny, actually it is hilarious, about a man who just wants to keep his parking space but he has to play lawn bowls in order to keep it, but he gets to know and like the other members of the club and they will all fight to keep it.

A good old aussie light hearted comedy. The ending is a little corny but the rest of the film is really good. The characters are great and quirky in their own way, the plot flows pretty well, a little slow in some places though, and the laughs a pretty frequent. Good movie for a night in with a bowl of popcorn.

This is a great truly australian movie and i thoroughly enjoyed watching this light hearted comedy that really is for the young and old alike. The casting couldn't have been done better if i had have done it myself and the cracks in this movie never before seen. I love the originality of the story line, you don't see many movies based on lawn bowls!

While I might be a bit biased as I've been a Mick Molloy fan since his days on The Late Show on the ABC in the early 1990's, this is a lighthearted comedy that would satisfy most people and has actually been one of the most successful Australian movies on the past few years in an industry where it's hard for any Aussie movie to even get noticed.
I still enjoy watching this as it's laidback and easy to watch without being too slow and there's a number of things happening in this movie as well as the main plot line. Also seeing Mick dressed up as Saddam Hussein was uncanny. It actually made me a bit interested in lawn bowls and I actually have been for a bowl once after watching this movie haha

When i saw this movie i just thought to myself "this is exactly like that movie black ball" but australian. And i find the aussies a lot more anoying than the brittish, The aussie accent is just heart wrenching. Plus they stole this movie from someone else. lazy aussies.
Black Ball is a good movie.

i saw this movie and i thought oh no a wog in a bowling club? this can't be good, and i was right it wasn't good it was awesome! total crack up with classic aussie humour. definitly same class as the castle!would recomend it to anyone with a warped sense of humour!
