I do love Kiwi humour and comedy. "This Town" has it in spades and delivers it in a unique mockumentary style which suits the comedy style perfectly.
It reminded me a little of "Eagle vs Shark" mixed with the Rhys Darby series "Short Poppies" (if murder was involved). There are numerous laugh out loud moments and enough quirkiness to make you smile. It begins strong and ends strong.
It's fairly easy to watch and the short runtime ensures you're never too bored. It does lose its way in the middle though and begins to take itself too seriously. It goes a little too long between laughs, and when you're talking of massacres and grief so much, it gets a bit depressing.
If you're a fan of New Zealand comedy and dark, dry humour then you might like this. Unique rom-com.
