Movie Info

Seventeen-year-old Aussie Ralph (Matt Day) dreams of making it big as a country-western singer. But the Grand Ole Opry is a long way from his family's farm in the outback. Undeterred by geography, Ralph sets out on a journey that will change his life. On the road to Sydney, however, a run-in with sexy redheaded singer Patsy (Miranda Otto) and her crooked boyfriend, Boyd (Richard Roxburgh), could derail the budding musician's plans for stardom.

Unrated, 1 hr. 35 min.

Who knew Miranda Otto could sing like that?

This muddled cinematic ballad to American country music concerns a naïve, guitar-toting farm boy who leaves home to seek his musical fortune in Nashville.

Overall the charm of the film works its spell, and director Kennedy shows confidence in juggling understated comedy and gently sentimental drama.

Claims to run 95 minutes but feels more like 25 to life.

A down-under fable with a sweet country-music twang.

Warmly affirmative and watchable.

It's a fun but somewhat uneven romp, enlivened by its unusual setting and lovely female lead, Miranda Otto.

A clever tale told with a small cast of enormous talent.
