You could do worse: 'You and Your Stupid Mate'

What, I asked myself - and him - could the editor of this journal have in mind by sending me off to see this latest Australian comedy when he knows how sensitive I am? Hadn't I suffered enough in this cause in recent times? Too often, at least since 'The Castle' (Rob Sitch, 1997), the very term 'Australian comedy' has denoted a wit-free zone, and certainly 'You and Your Stupid Mate' won't do much to disturb this image. But: (a) it's not as bad as some others I could name, and, indeed, will name, and (b) it's not as bad as those newspaper reviews might have led you to believe.
