Here is one of those rare movies, that only comes along every so often, as in being something special, thanks to two great American imports who play off other so well, their characters you really wish were father and son, if only for the loss of Schroder's parents (Thompson and Hamlett), prior, in a horrifying vehicle accident. it will make other campers in RV's, wary of parking so close to clifftops. Holden is wonderful as the stubborn, cranky dying man, who heads to his final makeshift place of passing in the NSW hinterlands, rich spoilt stray dog/orphan Schroder was the last thing he was expecting. Thompson and Hamlett shouldn't escape praise, either for their small fine performances, Thompson with an amazing Yank accent, not one trace of ocker in it, while Hamlett is endearing, Their distant relationship with their little son, which lacks any communication, is kind of sad, This is a warm heartening movie, that shouldn't go unnoticed, and Maureen Mcgovern's beautiful song as the end credits rise, is beautifully memorable, as is our two leads.
