 Love triangle in Australia April 17, 2006
M. R. Estante (North America)
Russell Crowe and wife Danielle Spencer met in this 1990 film about two best friends and their love for the same girl. It's simple, tragic, and about the nuances of loyalty.
 A Predictable Screenplay With A Positive Real-Life Outcome July 5, 2003

Having watched the real-life coverage of the wedding of Danielle Spencer and Russell Crowe, I must say that I felt truly happy for them both, and I wish them success at their marriage.
As for the movie that introduced the couple, it's rather bland, but then this is probably a realistic view of life in a small Australian town.
It's rather hard to place the exact year in which the story takes place but it appears to be around 1965 when men like the stylish looking Robert Mammone would have grown their hair out a bit more. Mammone, is very handsome with his chiseled and intense looking features. As the potential love interest and rival of Russell Crowe, whose emotions range from staid to explosive, Mammone is strikingly sophisticated.
As the center of the love triangle, Spencer is pretty staid at times. But she is convincing as the country girl who has trouble making the heady decision awaiting her.
The scenes between the originally established couple are racy, but considering the real-life romance of the two leads, a sign of things to come.
We see the family lives of the three main characters and of those around them. Most of the supporting players appear frustrated with their lives, and lamenting past mistakes, especially the elders in the story, whereas the young boldly take chances and do what they must to make their lives more exciting and distinguished.
The story ends with the heroine Meg trying to stop the feud between her rival suitors, and a frightening and fateful accident that will alter certain choices that had to be made.
This movie is highly reflective of the youthful culture it depicts, and the youth and inexperience of the actors is self evident. But in the years since, viewers have seen them improve.

I found this movie to be a sensitive look at teenage love and small town life. The characters are comparable to people in my own small town. They struggle with "what is my future" and "where will I be". And they learn their decisions impact much more than their own lives. Not my favorite coming of age movie, but a good one...plus watching a young Russell Crowe is a treat.
 Movie lacks spark....... November 19, 2002

We have become accustomed to viewing Russell Crowe films with a certain expectation of good, quality acting. And in this case his portrayal of a young in love, small town boy was on target. But the rest of the cast make this film unbearable to watch.Robert Mammone as Crowe's rival does a decent job, but Danielle Spencer as the object of both their affections, falls flat on her face. In the end she hasn't convinced anyone that she has the capibility to love anyone. She comes off as selfish and cold. I really hated this movie.
