Surprizingly Good, 7 October 2001
7/10
Author: Rhythmbandit from England

This is quite a good film, with good solid acting and an interesting plot.

I was surprised that this film was granted a P.G certificate in the UK as it had quite a bit of swearing. The story is almost exactly the same as Billy Elliot but much better and australian and the boy plays Rugby instead of boxing. If you are looking for a rainy day movie this is perfect. I recommend it for everyone. The only disappointing thing about it was that it only lasted 95 minutes.

7/10
