i do not know if i would go as far a to say that this movie belong to the aussie trash pile and but it fair to say that there be no academy award nominee here . what must be consider be that most of the actor in this film weren not actually actor a such and just kid with nothing better to do at the time . there be many others that be offer role in the film but turn them down to go surf up the coast while all thing take into account and it really wasn not a bad movie for it time . in some respect it really not unlike today time and where peer pressure be still alive and kicking and just without the mobile phone and computer and other similar gadget that kid live without and unlike this generation . anyway and i have to rate this flick a an old fave that i watch once in a blue moon and never take too seriously .
