The Coolangatta Gold is a great movie. It has a great storyline which many of us can relate to. It has spectacular scenery set around the beautiful Gold Coast. It has a great soundtrack and it also has some great acting. With all these things on its side you would think that the movie would be a huge success however if you remember back to the time, it was a major flop.
It has always annoyed me that whenever I have read a critics review of this film, they have always criticised it severely and they generally say that it was a waste of money as a lot of money went into making it. In my opinion it is one of the best Australian films of its era and I urge anyone who enjoys Aussie films of the 80's to get a copy of this one as I think you will enjoy it.
One sad note though...most of the acting is very good except for Joss McWilliam who plays the lead role. I don't think he is too flash. Nick Tate and Colin Friels are sensational.
