Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: A New Zealand youngster named Boy (James Rolleston) is surprised by the return of his wayward father Alamein (Taika Waititi).

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Boy is a fan of Michael Jackson. While telling his younger brother Rocky (Te Aho Eketone-Whitu) about all the great things their father can do he says that he can dance as good as Michael Jackson. We see a fantasy version of Alamein dressed up and posed like Michael Jackson in the famous Thriller cover photo shoot only holding a little ginger kitten instead of a tiger cub.
