Why they want to do it, how they become a working unit, why Dellasandro's arch enemy (Craig MacLachlan, who I didn't recognise for a long time) wants to stop them and plenty of other background information is missing. The heart and soul showed up before you realised any of the characters had any - which made their motivations fairly confusing, but Hulme is a charming and funny lead and the script has some great lines.
It's hard to decide whether to take the rousing speeches, stirring music and American-style patriotism seriously (being Australian, you're waiting for it to make fun of itself), but no self-depreciating humour appeared out of them, making them a little out of place. A charming movie but with a few too many frills.
