Full review
Kath opens her mock-colonial front door to the camera's for this fly-on-the-slice-of-life series Kath is a 40 something empty nester who is very proud of her home and how she looks. Kim is her spoilt 20 something daughter. With Kaths new fiance, Kel, Kim's estranged husband Brett and her 'second best friend' Sharon, they love to make mountains out of molehills and sows ears out of silk purses.
If you haven't yet seen this brilliant Australian show, you are seriously MISSING OUT! This show is absolutely hysterical and guaranteed to make you laugh from begin to end. Even when you get to the last episode, when you're left gagging for more....you discover the BLOOPERS and the 'Wine Time' in the extra's section.....I have to say, I have not laughed so hard for a long time. Great acting from stars Gina Riley (Kim) and Jane Turner (Kath). Also stars Magda Szubanski (Farmer Hoggets wife in 'Babe') as Shane Warne fanatic, and Kim's second best friend, Sharon. All 3 series of Kath and Kim has some brilliant guest appearances including, Rachel Griffiths (6 feet under, Muriels Wedding) Geoffrey Rush (Shine) and Kylie Minogue. (The Kylie episode is VERY funny, not to be missed)
Everytime I have a get together at my house and everyone is a little tippsy, the Kath and Kim dvd's end up coming out and we all end up rolling around the floor in hysterics...and that's not just because of the wine!
After seeing these 2 series of this great show, you will be dying to get your hands on Series 3 and Kath and Kim's most recent venture....Da Kath and Kim Code (starring Michael Buble)...also brilliant!
I bought all my Kath n Kim dvd's online from their website direct from Australia ( http://www.veg.com.au/kathandkim/) It is $79.95 for The box set of series 1,2 and 3...roughly 34 quid! You may be able to get it cheaper on ebay uk...occasionally, I have seen some floating around on there.
