Plot

The Tunkleys move from a caravan park into a suburban home goes wrong.

Reception

Andrew Urban wrote that "Emoh Ruo relies on stereotypes, but it does so with larrikin good humour, and lets us enjoy a big, lowbrow finish."[4] The Sydney Morning Herald stated "Emoh Ruo is a pleasant entertainment, but less than memorable".[5] Writing in Cinema Papers Christine Cremen says "With its lively combination of satire, sentimentality, near-tragedy and pratfall farce, Emoh Ruo resembles one of the better Preston Sturges comedies".[6] Writing in the book Australian Film, 1978-1994: A Survey of Theatrical Features Bruce Sandow states "More light-hearted situation comedy than biting satire, the film has its amusing moments. Competently made and entertaining in a lowbrow way, it has no pretensions to social comment. But its resorting to well-known Australian stereotypes is more often witless than inspired."[7] A review in Variety finishes "Overall, Emoh Ruo might just be the success the Australian film industry is looking for right now".[8]
