02/04/2021 Silly concept and lame script but some nice outback shots of Australia. See more 05/02/2011 pretty cringe-y the whole way through, didn't really feel any chemistry between hugh jackman and claudia karvan, both do better separately.. See more 02/11/2011 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! See more 02/05/2011 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. See more 12/10/2010 This would be na average romantic comedy, but the australian favor makes it unique. See more 07/27/2010 Australian romantic tv-movie with Hugh Jackman. See more Read all reviews
