This 2009 film about Aussie battlers building dull subdivisions on the coast of southern Queensland is like commercial TV in Australia: safe, predictable, formulaic, dull, full of conventional people saying conventional things. A life full of work, rugby league, beer, barbies, marriages, babies, mother-in-laws - seen it all before and done better.
It doesn't help that the main character who is meant to be a loveable knockabout is so dull and annoying. There are some good actors - Gary Sweet and Steve Bisely, but the others are commercial TV types slumming it in film.
A disappointing film from a usually reliable director.
