    It's just a light hearted comedy...

    This flick was pretty good. It's light hearted and simple. It has a bit of fun while trying to re-arrange some of the sexual stereotypes which can be found some places in rural Australia. It kept me interested with its simplicity and kept a good consistency in its comic approach. It's the sort of movie I could watch a few times and not get completely sick of. Mainly because the characters and the presentation are quite endearing in their beauty...but that's probably a drawback for some of you. Even if you don't like the cutesie presentation of this flick it may still be worth it if you would like to watch people play around with sexual stereotypes in a rural Australian setting.

    One of the best films not available on dvd/Blu-ray or streaming services.

    Funny movie with many underrated performances. Twelfth Night meets small town Australia. Not your standard formula boy meets girl teen movie. The actors chosen to play the towns folk look like could be actual locals. The actors are not the pretty faces which we see in American teen movies.

    Yeah right! and all women are angels?

    This flick proves it, Australians carry the same torch for Elvis, hot rods and hair grease (OK-gel, to be politically correct these days)and with the same kitschy flair, as their Stateside contemporaries!

    A young man tries his hand (as it were) at drag and then finds love in an all-girl band. (Undeniably, the best place to look!) This being the outcome of a nefarious scheme to re-unite his Elvis-besotted father with his sensible, piano-deprived mother. Dysfunctional family drama and sexual comings-of-age intersect in lightly comedic style.

    Set in a small town with surrounding farms and lakes, the film's sub- plots and characters overlap and complicate like a mid-summer jaunt in a Shakespearean tale.

    Toni Pearen as lead singer Angela is appealingly cutesy and tries her hardest with at best, a tradesman's script. No-one much had anything to work with here. Better than a cold cheeseburger-on-a-sesame-seed-bun to be certain, but with a medium coke as well, I'm not so sure!

    One of the THE worst movies ever!

    This is one of the most pathetic, lame-brained cr*p stories I have ever had the misfortune to see.

    Just imagine a plot vaguely similar to LADYBUGS - but without Rodney Dangerfield, Jonathan Brandis or anything remotely resembling a sense of comic timing, and you pretty much get the idea where this story is heading.

    The sort of film to make you scratch your head in wonder going "what the heck were they thinking here?" I didn't even crack a smile during the whole drawn-out process.

    Extremely disappointing and laborious storytelling.

    What were they smoking????

    I tried to like this movie. The characters motivations made NO sense. This was more like a bad Three's Company episode. If all good looking lesbian rock bands were all so accepting, I'd be in one. The plot was hacked together, and definitely needed a re-write. I kept asking myself, why did that person just do that? Then I started wondering why the film makers bothered making this movie at all.
