How to Talk Australians: The Movie is based on the hit web series of the same name. This time around we follow the students of the Delhi College of Linguistics as they leave the classroom behind and embark on a journey Down Under. When their flight is diverted to the regional town of Dubbo (because some bogan parked his ute on the runway) and their tour leader is detained by customs -- the group unexpectedly discovers the "real" Australia, despite never quite making it to Sydney, Melbourne, Uluru, or even Adelaide.
The film offers a scathing take on Australian culture through the eyes of a group of Indian call center workers, promising audiences from all backgrounds a laugh-out-loud theatrical experience -- and some entertaining insights into Australian language.

3.5/5
The first of what might be many big screen undertakings for the viral YouTube hitmakers is a consistently laugh-out-loud crowdpleaser, balancing raucous humour with a sharp satirical eye and big heart. Go to Full Review

Peter W @RT12077588 Oct 23, 2026 How to Talk Australians: The Movie delivers a great comedy story packed with wacky, spoofy moments that Australians will find relatable, painfully accurate, and genuinely funny. In fact, it's almost impossible not to laugh. The cameo appearances are a welcome treat, and the opening and first act are incredibly strong and set the film up brilliantly. Sadly, the film's biggest drawback is its finale. It feels as though it struggles to stick the landing, with the final moments lacking the confidence and impact of everything that came before. Sure, some of the jokes are easy to see coming, but that never takes away from the fun. Nevertheless, I already find myself quoting lines from the film, and it has left a lasting impression since I screened it, which is a wonderful achievement for an Australian comedy.

This film stumbles along on a broken leg. I wanted very much to be entertained but was disappointed. Honestly, I think the script was lacking. There is enormous potential for humour in cultural language differences but this was never really explored. Instead only the crudest American terms were served up and were suppposed to make us laugh. I could write a better script. See more Read all reviews
