No sunshine here

I couldn't believe how bad this movie was. It was like a rude surprise of a movie. It moves along the lines of Palm Beach or Pure S..t which is one of the worst Oz flicks I've seen. This movie done in the same trashy vein, where dialogue is like conversation, and scenes and clips are stung together, actors suddenly in different spots of scene. It is as though, it has all been done as a film student project, which in hindsight, scarily couldn't be far from the truth. The film again deals with the surf scene, again like in Puberty Blues, the male characters aren't that likable, especially Bisley's, rooting anything in sight, who suffers a tragic demise near the end, for knocking up a girl. SC gets so trashy at times, it almost borders on unwatchable, where from an appreciative style, manifests itself, at being so bad. Jarratt, the film's star is the only likable lad out of the foursome, cause he's not a pig like his mates. Even Mel is hard to warm to in this, only half likable if best. Jarratt's character is more adult and respective of women, while he's a conservative type too. The performances are only standard in this, and the high point, if you can call it that, rests in the last ten minutes, when the film takes a tragic and dramatic turn, conveying a consequential message about being young, insensitive and reckless. Check out Mel's dialogue take on surfing. This really bad, trashy pic, won't go down as one to remember, only for it's really trashy style, which is in abundance.

Trash yes, but watchable trash

Everyone has to start somewhere and this was where Mel started. Plot is alright,the acting quality is variable, certainly John Jarrett, Steve Bisley (and Mel) have done better but I found the movie entertaining and watchable - just don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.
