You go, Joffa !!!

| Quote: | FOOTY fanatic Jeff "Joffa" Corfe has burst on to the big screen, boots and all.
And, in news not for the nervous, a Magpie army of mini-Joffas is on its way, too.
As part of his Pie-eyed publicity push for Joffa: The Movie, 1000 bobble-head dolls have been machine-crafted and are on their way from China.
"Believe it or not, some people want them, but I don't think the world's ready," Joffa said.
"They are still trying to get over the first one."
About 100 cast, crew and friends - and a hard-nosed quartet invited by the Herald Sun - watched the movie hot out of the production suite late on Thursday.
Insights from the "friendlies" ranged from "Joffa snores" to "It's all about you, isn't it Joff?"
With our amateur reviewers - a Collingwood hater, a footy hater, a woman who doesn't barrack and a sports-mad teenager - the film kicked a few goals.
But in footy and films, everyone's an expert.
Hector Gauci, of the Blues' cheer squad, said the movie might be better edited into a TV series while Anti Football League secretary Jack Dunstan said he favoured a heavier cut.
"If they'd removed all references to football, it would have been a most enjoyable 15 minutes," he said. "I recommend taking a good book."
What producer Chris Liontos hopes for is to get the film on cinema screens. He has spruiked the movie at Cannes and will enter it in more than 20 international film festivals.
Mr Liontos said British and Canadian distributors were keen, if confused, wondering why Joffa was famous.
"They couldn't quite grasp the concept of why Joffa is Joffa," he said.
Game over or game on hangs on getting the movie seen and letting film-goers be the umpire.
Dandenong's Lunar Drive-In is a likely start, on a double bill with footy classic The Club. "I know Kenny got its start from that. They couldn't get it into the mainstream cinemas and I think it has a run at the Dromana Drive-In for a bit." |

Venice or Berlin would be more suitable, though it may make the Aussie Film Festival in London!

Leigh Paatsch, movie critic from the Hun doesn't appear to be a fan.
| Quote: | IT is a long, long way from Collingwood to Hollywood. Unfortunately, Joffa: The Movie barely makes it past the front gates of Victoria Park before running out of fuel.
With his tatty jacket of gold, albino mullet hairdo and a face made for keeping birds off crops, the infamous general of the Collingwood cheer squad was never going to be your typical movie star.
Nevertheless, Joffa might have had a better chance of entertaining a cinema audience if the producers had not made a bizarre attempt to turn him into another Kenny.
Weirdly, Joffa: The Movie blends some mildly interesting doco footage of Joffa in real life with some awfully amateur mock-doco comedy mucking about.
If you're not a Collingwood fan, the whole exercise is about as amusing as getting a 20-goal flogging by the Pies in a Grand Final. Even if you're a fan, Joffa is still a losing game.s as a viewing experience. Kind of like watching your side going down to Carlton in a practice game. No harm done exactly, but time not very well spent.
Joffa is definitely a natural in front of the cameras. Just a shame that those behind the cameras of Joffa : The Movie are not. |

Not too worried about those who see it then bag it..Thats the business i guess, We're out in the paddock to be praised and or get a kicking, The flick is no Gone With The Wind and nor are we trying to change the world with it. 120 people were at the viewing at Como Sth Yarra Thursday night, Many times during the film the audience was in laughter, The feel afterwards was it was enjoyable to watch, Its a feel good movie, funny , serious, bits of Doco, Thursday was the first time i got to see the whole fim on the big screen i thoroughly enjoyed it, Shane McCrae's role in the film is excellent.
