Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJulian McMahon was once married to Kylie Minogue's younger sister, Dannii Minogue.
- GoofsBecause of a massive loss of authentic clothes from the period, many background actors can be seen in clothing from modern-day brands, and in styles not available in 1975. A keen example is characters wearing underwear with brand-labeled waistlines, which was yet to be available in the 1970s.

Featured review
Forget the Nay sayers
If you were born like me in 73 you'll love this film.
From the evel knievel stunt kid to the fondue, it's all that was oz in the late 70's.
Hell we even had the same pool.
I laughed my head off.
Even the swinging bit was spot on for the time with all the parents getting pissed up and having a crack at the neighbours wife.lol
The mo's are spot on and the clothes are like looking at photo's of my parents.
Good to see the political correct 2000's didn't come into the making of this film, This is how it was back then, if you didn't do as your told you got a wack.
I'm all the better for it and it was a better Australia than the nanny state we live in now, take a ride down memory lane and relive the golden years of Oz.
