I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

For Americans the dialog was next to unintelligible. The British accent overlaid with an Australian accent made most of the dialog sound like gibberish. I would say only 30% would be understood by Americans. Then the movie doesn't have much direction or point. As a result the movie BOMBED in the USA. I think it took in only about $50,000. Pitiful, just pitiful. And it wasn't from lack of advertising. Radcliffe came to the US and made the rounds of talk shows to publicize it before it came out. I am sure he expected it to be a winner. Instead it was a disaster. But Dan has recovered somewhat with My Boy Jack. This is not a big thing in the US since it is a TV drama and not a movie, but he did fine in that. He needs to make a non-Potter movie with an American accent (he can do it if he tries) so that Americans can understand him easily. He is awfully short though to be a real star. You see this when he stands beside a 6' person. He look sorta midgety.

This movie was really wonderful. It's a feel-good movie that actually makes you feel-good, and sad. You'll follow the characters as you follow your self and your own friends.When I saw this yesterday, I kept one thing on my mind for the whole movie. I compared this movie to Big Fish by Tim Burton (which is a great movie too). This two films are very similar to each other in some strange way, in a good way. You can't say that this director is as good as Tim Burton, but he sure has great quality that he can and hopefully will develop and go big.This movie is worth seeing, no talk about it. I can't understand why people rate this 1/10, because this piece of work is not worth it.

Boring, bland plot. Undeveloped characters. Not well written. I have not read original novel. So I am hoping, it has all the ingredients of a memorable coming of age tale. The fault may be in the screen adaptation. Overall a really thin, predictable plot. More so an advertising campaign for the South Australian tourism board than anything. Nice photography. But the whole thing didn't 'have it'. It confused me, it could of been passed off as a children's film, as it was such a simple, predictable plot. But, the nudity (which I am fine with) says that it was not produced for the children's film market. I think if this had been produced and sold as a children's movie, it would of cut it. But, it is clearly designed for a young adult/adult market. Unfortunately it is 'laugh out loud' bad, trying to watch this film seriously as an adult. Sorry filmmakers, you blew your chance at making a good film. Go back to film school. Really awful, in fact embarrassingly awful.

A great movie indeed with all that a good movie needs: love, drama, realistic characters, joy, sadness and all the other things that a human being might feel nostalgic about at a certain moment.The orphans change the cove and cove changes them forever and, if you let it, their story might change you as well.The emotional charge simply grows bigger and bigger from the beginning of the movie towards the end thus providing with a finale of biblical proportions (emotionally speaking).Although in the beginning it might not seem like much this is, in my opinion, a movie that will not leave you unchanged and give you a new perspective as to what your dreams are and/or ought to be.
