Last night I watched “Australia” with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. Went with my aussie friend & her hubby. A good choice. We were cracking up laughing the whole time! I absolutely LOVED this movie. Everything about it. The location. Their truthful portrayal of the Aboriginal way of life and history with the Stolen Generation (unbelievable that this went on until the mid 1970’s). And I loved the storyline. Nicole Kidman’s fake british accent reminded of that of Renee Zellweger’s in Bridget Jones’ Diary – but her character got better as the movie went on. And Hugh Jackman. Well. I’ve never been a huge Jackman fan – because I haven’t seen many of his movies. But crikey he’s hot!
There were so many Australian expressions that were cracking my friend Anna and I up. We couldn’t stop laughing the first half of the movie. “Bloody” was used in every second sentence.
I cannot recommend this movie enough. I’ll be going back for a second time, that’s for sure. The critics gave it some unwarranted horrible reviews. However I have heard so many people say they really enjoyed this movie. I don’t think you can listen to the critics. We are all but human beings with different likes, interests and opinions.

Well with that review alone, I will make plans to watch it. I had seen interviews with Hugh Jackman and have always been a fan since his X-Men Days - but this puts my interest over the top. I love humor, but he was listed as the Handsomest Man or Hottest Guy or something..that's all good enough for me! Thanks for the review!
Hmmm, it does seem like kind of a chick flick (at least from the previews)...but I do have kind of a mancrush on Hugh Jackman...
I really want to see this!
I love how you say crikey. I say that all the time & my husband thinks it really nerdy. ;]
