steve d Not at all funny or engaging. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An Aussie Classic. A high school teacher and senior student both trying to find themselves in their worlds. A forbidden love and a romance worth to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member has nothing 2do with the 1972 movie of the same title Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a Aussie classic! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Remarkably grown up. There's not many Australian 'classics' which turn out actually to be good, but this is one.
