Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

LouieInLove I enjoyed it. This is a caricature look at the world before health & safety & PC fascism; where victims were just soft & folk simply had to get on with it. Yes, there were casualties, but these times were free of knowing mass uncensored judgement from a glance at a phone. This was a more innocent & less paranoid time - definitely a little more dangerous & fun.All the actors did a good job.

ben-576-108183 Run, don't walk. This is a mystery. Easily the worst Australian movie of all time. This has no redeeming features whatsoever. I can't, for the life of me, even speculate why Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue etc agreed to be involved with this steaming pile of utter nonsense. I'm shattered. I could go on but ... there's that much wrong it's just not worth it. STAY AWAY

rbryant-90460 I went into this film expecting nothing, and I was impressed. I was a bit sad about the turtle not being freed, but throughout the film I laughed out loud. I loved Kylie Minogue's ernest and restrained performance, and I loved seeing a whole new side to Rhada Mitchell. It has the manic and brash quality that aussie films of the period actually had (remember They're a Weird Mob?), and it has a certain charm. Its awesome reliving the era, and it gets it spot on, I remember how tragic the 70's were. The film does acknowledge subtly the darker aspects of the period; sexism, racism and homophobia. The director chose to root everything in the film to the truth (it's based on his youth) and that serves the film well, but having said that the plot is a bit crazy- well I guess it was a crazy time. Having said that there is a weird kind of magic to the ooey gooey surreal explosive climax to the film, that I loved. Free all turtles! haha. I recommend you see it. I loved Priscilla, Welcome to Woop Woop; they are all very different films, and that's a good thing.

MatthewInSydney Firstly the positives - it looks great and the cast is fun. Set in an idyllic beach suburb street, with colourful 70's designs, and a big cast (everyone's good in this, both parents and kids), most Australians of a certain age will find something to like about this. But it's humorous without being hilarious or much of a good time. The script and editing have made it a bit of a muddle. The two main kids are very sweet, but their storyline has no climax - do they actually go to Melbourne? The behaviour of he parents is a mystery - for a while they're all friends and up for kinky fun, then after a key party they're all enemies for no apparent reason. The gross humour of the final whale scene is a spectacular but emotionally empty note to end on. And one 70's aspect that is completely wrong is the language - it's crude and un-PC (which is accurate for 70's Australia but gets annoying after a while), but leaves out the brilliant Aussie slang of the time. See Puberty Blues for an example of it done right. That language is truly funny and endearing and would have lightened the film.
