Scarfies
Five kiwi flatmates find something growing in their basement much to their delight, but when the rightful owner comes knocking and finds that they have appropriated the goods things start to go awry.
AroView: Kiwi icons - Dunedin, rugby, Flying Nun music, student life - upholster a formula but well-executed crime plot in which five student flatters discover a cannibas harvest in the basement of their dilapidated mansion.
When the flappable five find they have a serious hostage crisis on their hands, the comedy moves into a more sinister gear, but here it clocks up most of its entertainment points. Echoes of SHALLOW GRAVE aside, this takes a more down-to-earth approach to the moral dilemma, and the characters retain our sympathy in spite of some dubious choices.
