The Kelly family is deeply involved in the community, Digger coaches the local rugby league team with his old mate Singlet (Bruce Spence), Jack and his mate Solly (Aaron Fa’Aoso) play for the team, while mother Betty (Kris McQuade) does the books. Their world is threatened by the arrival of a corporate southern property developer led by hot young executive Tiffany (Brooke Satchwell). Digger and his crew have long relied on local property developer Harry (Steve Bisley) for work but when Harry goes belly up, the whole community is thrown into turmoil. Digger and Jack fall out and when Jack starts courting Tiffany for work, Digger accuses him of disloyalty. As the community unravels in the face of change, Jack strives to find a way out.

Leaves you shaking your head. But darn good fun.
Pokes fun at the Australian male ego. But it speaks to men in general, the blue collar work ethic, and competitiveness and cooperation between longtime friends. It explores the mystery between men and women, how each fails to comprehend how the other sex thinks. Lots of underlying gags poking fun at attitudes etc. We really laughed so often during this film. Yes it isn't as smooth as say FOUR WEDDINGS and a FUNERAL. SUBDIVISION is a course, sweaty version of real men in real community. Well worth a watch.

Boring and basic. Not even a "B" movie
Big fan of Brooke Satchwell. This was a disappointment though.

Not PG
Very offensive language right at the beginning of the movie so I did not continue watching it. Disappointing choice of language for a PG movie. Should be rated PG13
