A fine showcase of undisguised Kiwi humour.

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2017)

If you don't 'get' Kiwi humour, you won't like this film. Kiwi humour is as unique as Aussie humour; not the same, but close enough for us to appreciate the differences. Other nationalities may be too (up themselves) I mean sophisticated, or find the jokes too low-brow, juvenile or too culturally specific. Each to his own I guess.
I like Kiwi films. Just check out Bad Taste, Hunt for the Wilderpeople or Black Sheep. I tend to watch these films with an incredulous expression of WTF interposed between cracking up. Some of the jokes do fall flat but the undertone is usually enough to keep you engaged.
The make-up is particularly good in WWDITS. The characters are well acted and the post-production crew did a great job of cutting 120 hours of improvised footage into this movie. Apparently, to maintain a documentary feel, no one had access to the script until they actually performed a take. Stu had no idea he was such a big part of the action.
I don't want to call this film a guilty pleasure, because I did enjoy What We Do In The Shadows and I don't feel (very) guilty. Salute the Kiwi way and check out this film.
