Most Excellent, 5 October 1999
10/10
Author: Just_Me-3 (stevem@netcentral.com.au) from Brisbane, Australia

If ever there was a great duo , it would have to be Ben Mendelsohn and Claudia Carvan. This movie is a down to earth , no rubbish , personification of youth in Australia. I have seen this movie many times and still want to see it over and over again. True Blue Aussie humour at its best.
