75A down–under fable with a sweet country-music twang.
-
70Overall the charm of the film works its spell, and director Kennedy shows confidence in juggling understated comedy and gently sentimental drama.
-
60It's a fun but somewhat uneven romp, enlivened by its unusual setting and lovely female lead, Miranda Otto.
-
Writer-director Chris Kennedy delights in torturing his poor protagonist--what are the odds that a massive Aussie line dancers' convention would take place in the abandoned train yard right across the street from his jail?--but enduring this oddly humorless "comedy" is even harder on the audience.
