Review of Dags

Dags (1998)
7/10
Hilarious glimpse of low socio-economic suburban Australian life
23 November 2000
A dag, for those not from Australia, is one of two things: the smelly matted thing hanging from a sheep's backside, or an unfashionable or nerdy person. "Dag" can be used semi-affectionately, but it is usually an insult reserved for friends.

"Dags" is the story of a group of young adults living in a world of bad pick-up lines, bad clothes and bad outlooks on life. When one of the girls is kidnapped, her girlfriends get jealous and decide they must take action to correct this unfairness. What follows is thoroughly unbelievable, yet you find yourself laughing at the pathetic state of the whole situation.

The guy at the video shop told me this was the Aussie version of Clueless - it's *nothing* like it. Overall, it's a dodgy movie that endears itself to Australian suburbanites who can relate. Overseas viewers might not get the joke.
