    Good, if you have the right mindset

    This movie is VERY funny, but I guess you need the South African mindset to really appreciate the jokes. Bill and Paul is always a very funny combination. I loved it. It's light hearted and not pretentious at all. If you're South African, love Rugby and DOP, and don't care about being judged by the movies you watch, check it out.

    Bill and Paul are two Rugby fans that goes to the 99 Rugby World Cup in Wales. There they meet Rugby fans from all over the world, including a Japanese guy that is booked into the same room as they are. The confrontation in a local bar with New Zealanders is very funny. Even Batman makes an appearance!
