| User ReviewDonna LAn Aussie movie about teenagers that I just fell in love with |
| User ReviewAndré ØI love this movie! Me and my girl friend can recite this movie word for word! |
| User ReviewHarry HTop Aussie show shows surf culture at its rawest, blokes are the boss, chicks are just there |
| User ReviewNicki MWatching this film just makes me think thank Christ I was an unpopular teenager. Being in the in group could surely not be worth what these girls go through! A true to life Aussie classic that I first saw in my teens and many times since. Still relevant to teens today although I sure hope things have changed (doubt it). The new tv series based on this is also good, but this is the original and best. What girls will put up with to get a boyfriend! |
