    Bush teen rom-com is as silly as

    Loud and colourful are not quite enough in this very unsubtle rom-com set amongst exuberant car-mad country youths at an annual Bachelor and Spinster's weekend of fancy car stunts, hard drinking, hard dancing, hard practical joking and dreams of sex in a noisy group setting. The main young couple try every stupid rom-com ploy to pretend they won't get together and just remain best mates, but we all know they'll get together in the end.

    Similar in tone to Weekend At Bernie's, this film does at least celebrate the Australian rural landscape, and a bit of rural culture, but it's all a bit OTT for me.

    Huh

    I'm not sure what some people saw in this movie but it wasn't what I expected. If it weren't for the fact I rented this movie I'd never made it to the end. Now I have definitely saw better movies about drinking non-stop and acting like fools. "Porky's" come to mind as well as "Can't Hardly Wait" but this one was a bit too much. The two biggest names in the movie (Xavier Samuel and Lincoln Lewis) couldn't save it. It starts out great then mellows out a bit then turns to a drink fest that never delivers.

    I never heard of ute where stunt driver's drive in circles and perform stunts which is popular in Australia. They could have focused more on the sport and allow other countries to witness such events. All we get to see however are a bunch of young adults acting like juveniles guzzling beer and wanting sex. Not once did I even giggle at this movie but thought about the wasted talent. Now I love movies based around a sport and own my fair share of them and this movie should have featured the sport more than what they do show. Lincoln Lewis who I saw in a few movies was really wasted here not to mention Xavier Samuel the two biggest names in the movie. I saw them both in the Australia horror movie "Bait 3D" (no shared screen time) and it was a great movie. I've seen Xavier Samuel in a few movies that were way better than this not to mention Lincoln Lewis who I saw in another movie.

    Bottom line is this so called rom-com never gets off the ground and none of the actors really showcase their talent. I myself try to avoid movie's that feature non-stop drinking and silly antics because they usually are not funny. They had a great subject to build a good movie and as they say dropped the ball.

    This movie was nothing but a group of roughnecks acting like kids after highschool graduation party and I saw much better in that area. I thought this movie didn't try to be entertaining just got crazier as it went on. The next day everyone is waking up after all that drinking without any hangover. I can't really say anything good about this movie but it does put a roadblock up on foreign movies and coming from Australia I expected something more. I gave it 1 out of 10 star's as this is really nothing more than a drink fest and nothing to really get into except a rowdy get together.

    Spin Out: Enjoyable. Not Meant specifically for Geniuses

    It's a predictable and enjoyable flick, revolving around the (good) look and the (good) acting of its rising star, Xavier Samuel and his partners, Morgan Griffin in the first place.

    Frames are full of sun, fresh and good feelings, beer and cars (utes…): as stated in the synopsis it requires a young heart to enjoy it but it's well made, with good care for details and a general good taste.

    Even if you cannot refrain from asking yourself what is the point of drawing circles in the dirt with you car's wheels, its current rating on IMDb (4.5 at the time I'm writing) is too low (on my opinion).

    It deserves a 6. And BTW, in case you never heard Dave Baxter's 'Love Love Love' before, I'm sure you'll love it, as i did.

    roaring dust-storms of spinning utes and non-stop drinking in a confusion of juvenile slapstick sketches

    Australian filmmaking stands tall amongst the best in global cinema. We have so many iconic works across all genres that show our love of land and respect for its traditional owners, mock our idiosyncratic humour and explore the spirit of adventure that has driven the creation of this island nation. Disappointingly, there is not a hint of any of this in the coming of age rom-com called Spin Out (2016). It is difficult to even guess why this film was made and why it had to fall so short of our Aussie film traditions, given the resources at its disposal.

    The story centres on the fading outback customs of the ute muster and the Bachelor and Spinsters ball, both of which are struggling for survival against insurance costs and the social disintegration of traditional life in remote rural areas. The ute muster is a competition between ute stunt drivers who perform a variety of high risk manoeuvres in a mechanised rodeo setting, and the B & S ball is the bacchanalian booze-up that happens after the show. Billy (Xavier Samuel) and Lucy (Morgan Griffin) are stunt-driver teammates and childhood friends. After another display of Billy's immaturity, Lucy announces that she is heading for city life and leaving all of this behind. The rest of the story is about Billy's realisation that his teammate has become the girl he loves and he needs to grow up fast, a theme that is echoed amongst several of Billy's mates in their inept courting rituals. The dominant take-home memories from this film are the roaring dust storms of spinning utes and the inevitable consequences of non-stop drinking.

    One can only hope that anyone seeing this film overseas realises that it is a grossly exaggerated caricature of rural stereotypes and not a portrait. The dialogue is so corny starched that many scenes read like a high-school play with acting performances that scream inauthenticity. The only shining light comes from Morgan Griffin who, despite the script, fills each close-up scene with pleasing warmth and maturity. Xavier Samuel is wasted here, especially after his fine performance in Love and Friendship (2016). Otherwise, the cast is entirely young white adults without even a nod of respect for the Indigenous inhabitants of the land so ruthlessly being ripped up by white mans' machines. The humour is puerile, fixated on stunted sexual development and a variety of bodily functions that could have been rendered funny but are not. The narrative theme of young people's progression to adulthood in the harshness of outback Australia is entirely lost in a messy confusion of juvenile slapstick sketches.

    It's a feel good comedy

    This movie makes me feel good. The soundtrack is the best, and Morgan Griffin is such a cute actress that is romantic. I haven't seen this in cinemas, This is one of the best Australian Comedy of all.
