Audience Member Silly concept and lame script but some nice outback shots of Australia. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/21 Full Review Audience Member pretty cringe-y the whole way through, didn't really feel any chemistry between hugh jackman and claudia karvan, both do better separately.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful Aussie drama. Good to watch a young Hugh and Claudia in action. Very down to earth as the outback is...nothing like Croc Dundee! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming little romantic movie from Down Under, starring a pre-Wolverine Jackman. Lost a bit of its steam near the end but still worth a look. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This would be na average romantic comedy, but the australian favor makes it unique. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Australian romantic tv-movie with Hugh Jackman. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
