not your usual road trip, 31 July 2005
7/10

This has to be the most interesting road trip movie i have ever seen. If you think you have seen every type of road movie, you haven't seen this then. For the four actors, they do a alright job of acting, even though they were randomly picked from the street and had no previous acting.

Bondi Tsunami is so visually stunning, that you are mesmerized the whole time. Though it is visually wonderful, it does distract from the story; but there isn't much of a story in the first place. This is the major flaw of the movie, with a limited story line and not a lot of character development, the movie seems to drag on and on. Most of the time there are songs playing and this is where all the visual directing comes into its own; but you cant really rely on great visuals. It kind of is one long music video.

Though this isn't a very deep movie and very thin on a story, this is still a great view; as there isn't anything else like Bondi Tsunami out there.
