Now this is comedy
If you are going to do a Cannibal Comedy...
...you need to make sure that the jokes land. Most of the jokes here didn't.
So the plot is that a gang of inept crooks are running from the police, and intrude on a family of Maori who belong to a whacky cult of cannibals. The daughter, who was sent off to an exclusive girl's school to preserve her virginity for a sacrifice, discovers her family's "Lifestyle change" just before the crooks break in. What follows are a bunch of antics before the crooks are mostly killed or disable.
The thing is, the jokes aren't funny. The only thing that is kind of funny is Temura Morrison (Star Wars) over the top performance as the father/cult leader/frustrated professor.
There are probably some cultural things here I don't get because I don't live in New Zealand. But generally, not funny at all.
