Ho Hum

Rating: 4/10 (23 September 1999)

This film tries hard but fails. Perhaps to non-Australian audiences it may have appeal as a travelogue, but to the native it is merely tedious.
Anyone who lives here knows Broken Hill is a rough, tough isolated mining town. If a couple of citified fruits turn up in drag, well it's all so predictable. Where have I come across that well-worn theme before? Oh yes -- Town Mouse and Country Mouse. Spare us.
I kept hoping it would improve but after the Broken Hill scene I could see where this was heading and so turned off the TV and went to bed.
