Avoid Australia–not the continent, the movie. To see why, go to this link on Rotten Tomatoes and read all the negative reviews–something I did not do before wasting 3 hours of my life. They summarize quite well how bad this film is. My two favorite lines are these: “Within five minutes, Australia seems headed for trouble. It gets there and stays there.” & “Really, you don’t want to sit through this.” As usual, you can count on the opposite of Roger Ebert’s opinions being the case. I hope whatever the other positive reviewers were smoking is legalized soon. On that idea, see Ethan Nadelmann’s op-ed, Let’s End Drug Prohibition, in today’s Wall Street Journal.
