Homebrewer I watched most of this movie late one night on HBO (or Cinemax/Showtime). Anyway, I woke up in the morning and thought this movie was some kind of a dream that I had. This movie is over the top strange (Right up my alley). I haven't seen this movie since and I'm long awaiting the DVD of this movie to come out, so I can watch this again. Like I said, I love strange, bizarre movies and this one is way out there. I'm waiting for the DVD to come out (not sure what the hold up is). Why are there a handful of movies that never get released on DVD? Lost Highway, Prospero's Books, etc. Well to sum this one up. It was like watching a surreal dream come true.
Welcome to insanity! "The only good roo is a dead roo." So says the crazed leader of an isolated Australian town that turns roos into dog food and doesn't let anyone leave...ever. When a con-man named Teddy (Johnathon Schaech) runs from trouble in America he lands right in the hot frying pan after meeting the oversexed Angie (Susie Porter) and being kidnapped to become her husband, till death do they part. This is one slick yank that almost wishes he'd let the lone-shark back in America shoot him rather than tangle with the mad bunch living in Woop Woop. This is a great comedy, though be warned there's some sex scenes you won't want youngsters to see. Be sure to watch past the credit lines. There's a hidden conclusion mates!

Black Comedy with a Punch Welcome to Woop Woop amounts to a farce with a very unique (and appalling) storyline. The town Woop Woop is literally "off the map" and its inhabitants interact in a surreal and disturbing fashion.
Fleeing from danger in New York, the lead character (Johnathon Schaech) makes it to Australia, only to walk into a much bleaker situation - a kind of time-warp - where Daddy-O is the law, the judge, and the executioner. Rule number one: no-one escapes from Woop Woop.
Unfairly criticized as vulgar and offensive, many have missed what this film is all about. Properly understood, however, this makes for highly entertaining (if somewhat foreboding) viewing. Great stuff!
"Cracked out and fablous" I turned the T.V. on @ 6:30 a.m. & was hooked there and then. This movie actually made me ask myself, "Am I really awake"? I was laughing until my stomach hurt. Was I awake? Yes, & "Woop Woop" came to life! Buy this movie now! I promise, those of you out there who love to see wackie, non-traditional & "cracked out movies" this is for you!! K? LKH
