Take Away is an Australian comedy movie that showcases the lives of two fast-food employees, Sonny and Dave. Vince Colosimo plays the role of Sonny and Stephen Curry plays Dave, and they both manage a fish-and-chips shop. The movie provides a hilarious glimpse of the amusing banter between these two employees as a result of the pressure they face at their workplace.

The plot revolves around the task that Sonny and Dave undertake to save their fish-and-chips shop, which is threatened by the arrival of a new fast-food franchise in the city. With their jobs at stake, they embark on a mission to sabotage the franchised food operations by attempting to steal their secret recipe.

Their plan is not as smooth as they thought it would be, with several mishaps occurring along the way that adds to the humor of the film. Despite not being the most mature of individuals, Sonny and Dave display courage and creativity to fight for their store, and ultimately, their livelihoods.

They soon realize that the key to their success lies in the recipe, as the franchised organization would be nothing without that recipe. This leads them to go to extreme lengths to get their hands on the secret recipe. Along the way, they experience some healthy competition from other fast-food chains, which spices up the plot.

Soon, their escapade turns into a full-fledged war with the arrival of the competition. Carnage ensues as they plan their next move, and Sonny and Dave find themselves in some hilarious and bizarre situations. One such instance includes Dave dressing up as a chicken, one of the most hilarious scenes in the film.

Sonny and Dave's determination to get the secret recipe and secure their jobs leads to bonding and camaraderie, which transcends their personal differences. They are also prepared to do anything to save their restaurant, even if it means causing chaos in the city.

Throughout the film, there are multiple intersecting plots that add depth to the overall narrative. One such instance involves a budding romance between Sonny and Emma, who is played by Rose Byrne. Several subplots involve the owners of the franchise, the other employees in the restaurant, and the various incidents that occur in the city due to the competition between the fast-food chains.

Take Away is a light-hearted film that does not take itself too seriously. Despite the intensity of the competition between the restaurants, the movie is peppered with humor and wit, making it a fun watch. The comic timing of both Colosimo and Curry is impeccable, and their chemistry is evident on screen.

The film is set in Sydney, Australia, providing an excellent backdrop for the cinematic experience. The city's hustle and bustle become an essential part of the narrative as chaos ensues, involving characters from all walks of life.

Overall, Take Away is a fun, relatable movie that showcases the trials and tribulations faced by employees who work in the fast-food industry.
