Advantages: great story, great acting, excellent soundtrack Disadvantages: Pauly was still an annoying character
something to do with the fantastic body he had as it certainly was not the way he spoke as he must have only said no more that 10 words throughout the film! He and his group of people were well thought-out character but I did not warm to them and some of the acting seemed very wooden.
The film was made and set in the 1980?s and this was very apparent from the clothes and the sets which were used.

This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia.

I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife.
