I avoided watching this movie until recently when it came up on Foxtel (under Romance!) because when it came out I heard it was a load of crap. Unfortunately the reports were right.
What a shame, what a waste of money, what a waste of talent and what a misrepresentation of real Australia , Australians and Australian history.
Love Hugh Jackman but this is the second disappointing performance I have seen him in. The first was Les Miserables when the role should have been given to a more accomplished singer and in this fairy story he was let down by a screenplay that at best could be described as infantile. And I am sorry Hugh, despite the endless kissing between you and Nicole, the chemistry was as explosive as a damp squib.
I have given this one star because of some very capable actors trying their best to portray believable characters with an unbelievable script. I give the director zero for creating a farce when the real Australia is crying out for an epic the likes of "The Big Country" rather than this load of junk, that with just a little alteration here and there, Quentin Tarantino could have presented as one of his black comedies.
