just curious if anyone else has seen this? so far i know two people. my housemate saw it and she loved it. and a friend of mine who used to work on oil rigs and now drives trucks hated it. i was thinking maybe the fact that he is gay might soften his opinion. it did not :D

Forgot about this thread - well maybe it's because I've tried to bury any memory of this movie under large piles of poo. The movie has stereo typical characters. It's definitely a chick flick due entirely to Hugh Jackman's character being the rough outback bloke that can do everything, get's his shirt off once or twice (all the chicks were drooling at this point) and then scrubbed up into a gentleman a little bit later.
I wasn't sure what type of movie it was supposed to be - everything pointed to it being an epic romantic drama, but there were to many corny one liners and little jokes that made it seem like it was just a nothing movie - not a comedy, not a drama, not serious, just something mashed up in between.
It was long and should have ended when the first rains came and I wouldn't have mind, but it went on from being about the farm and suddenly turning into war.
I guess I was somewhat entertained, but would have preferred to stay at the pub and drink while the Mrs went in to drool over Hugh.
:soapbox:

Took me a while, but I finally saw this.
Indeed the beginning really had me wondering if they wanted to do some Crocodile Dundee western movie or something. Luckily the comedy ended quickly and the next part came.
The movie felt like a soap series crammed together in one movie. There are several more or less distinct episodes. Every time I had the feeling the movie ended and then it simply started the next episode. Quite weird.
My GF like the movie better than me, but I thought it was sort of OK too. Guess a 3 out of 5 sounds about right yes.

Why would anyone care that you can't read?

I’ll wait for the Ameralica remake.
