Kombi Man - the movie (sort of....a review )

[Oldman]

Hey folks, went and saw this movie last night.....
The trailer that I linked into my post in the Kombi Spotting thread implies that the movie is about the journey of finding a kombi , restoring it and ups and downs of the experience......

The movie has snippets of that, however the actual focus of the movie is one man's vulnerability when faced with a terminal illness and his quest for peace within himself.
The kombi is definitely not the subject of the movie, however it is integral to the storyline.
Had I known the content, I would most likely not have paid to see it.....not saying that it's a bad movie, just not the kombi search, find, restore flick I thought it was going to be.

Saw a couple of previous KC members there, who felt the same.....
Just thought I'd let folks know......

Thanks Mark,

We haven't had an opportunity to see it locally, although it was screened in Burnie which wasn't practical for me. I was of a similar expectation to you so Ill wait to see it down the track.

Cheers Adrian

Thanks for the heads up was thinking of going to see it this Saturday now my weekend has freed up

[Alpal]

Agree with comments but still think it was worth seeing. Take a tissue!

Good “heads up”, as to what you expect to see from the promo, and what you will actually see. 

To those that have seen it, thanks for sharing.

Well, tomorrow, Saturday 3rd, our "local" drive in at Yatala - possibly the only one in Qld, is showing the movie - there is a Kombi display on before the movie -we are going in Mr K. It should be fun but I note your warning that the movie uses the Kombi as a prop. Should be interesting as I have stage 4 prostate cancer so I will be ablt to empathise with the main character.

Wishing you a Victory against the Bastard Disease.
