DVD Review: Takeaway
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Aussie comedy.



Tony and Trev are chalk and cheese. To make things worse, they run competing fish and chip shops just a few doors from each other. But when a new Burgies Burger chain store opens up nearby, the two join forces to try to stop the newcomer taking away their businesses.

With familiar faces including Vince Colosimo, Stephen Curry and Rose Burn, this is a film sure to get a few laughs from viewers. Sure, it's not side splitting humour, or incredibly clever, but it's still fun.

Special features include alternative credits where cast members talk about themselves and their favourite (real life) take away shops, as well as a Burgie's commerical, an audio commentary and a theatrical trailer. The chalk board menu is another cute addition to the DVD version.

Fun viewing.

Takeaway, Roadshow, 2003
