8	Teddy is an American man selling Australian Bush Cockatoos on the NYC black market to pay off a debt. When men come for the money, [[GoneHorriblyWrong shots are fired and his birds are set free in the chaos]]. Teddy [[CallToAdventure follows them]] and runs away to [[StartingANewLife hide in Australia]]. There he meets Angie, who he thinks is [[GirlOfMyDreams the girl of his dreams]] - [[AbductionIsLove until she knocks him out]], [[MeetTheInLaws and brings him home]]. He wakes up trapped in Woop Woop, an [[HiddenElfVillage isolated town]] with a population of 50 and [[CloseKnitCommunity every one is family]]. The town is run by Daddy-O, [[DaddysGirl Angie's father]], who very aggressively enforces the three town rules (see quote). The only entertainment is "[[AccidentalMisnaming Rogerson]] [[Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein Hammerstein]] (sic)", the only snacks are pineapple chunks, and the town industry is producing canned dog food made from kangaroo meat.

10	-----
11	!!This film provides examples of:
12
13	* AbductionIsLove: Angie knocked out and drugged Teddy in order to marry him and take him home.
14	* AccidentalMisnaming: Angie mistakenly pronounces Rogers and Hammerstein as "Rogerson Hammerstein". Justified as she has spent her life in an isolated town.
15	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Near the end of the movie, a kaiju-sized kangaroo appears, and destroys the vehicle of Teddy's pursuers.
16	* ChekhovsGun: The Australian Bush Cockatoos. Angie's sister Krystal has one as a pet. [[spoiler: Teddy, Krystal and the cockatoo all three later escape town and go back to NYC to open a pet store.]]
17	* CountryMatters: During a ''Rocky Horror''-like screening of ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'', the audience assumes the Reverend Mother's line to Maria "What is it you can't face?" is actually "What is it, you cunt-face?" The entire audience then begins to call poor Creator/JulieAndrews the "c-word."
18	%%* GoldDigger: Angie, downplayed. Comments on Teddy's "nice watch" (but so do others).
19	* HiddenElfVillage: Woop Woop is literally surrounded by mountains and off the map.
20	%%* KissingCousins: Duffy and Laverne.
21	%%* RulesOfTheRoad: Kangaroo Crossing.
22	* UnexpectedVirgin: Angie.
23	* VirginTension: One of Teddy + Angie's arguments began over her not being forward with her virginity.
24	* YouCantGoHomeAgain: No one is allowed to leave the town ([[DaddysGirl except Angie]]).
25	* YourMoneyIsNoGoodHere: Quoted and Averted. There is no money or personal belongings. Teddy's wallet and (nice) watch are confiscated on his arrival.
