Verdict on Secrets of a Wallaby Boy
Secrets of a Wallaby Boy is a comedy about a young man who is struggling in life. He takes a job as a courier, which adds more adventure and peril to his life. However, he isn’t prepared for what is to come next.
This movie has comedy that fails to get any laughs and wants to take us into the lives of a man searching for work and sex. It goes way too heavily on trying to capture elaborate moments for laughs. However, they are too over the top to be believable to make anyone laugh. There is a side story, which adds some interest to the movie, but the comedy fails give it enough time to shine.
