Off to see this film tomorrow, anyone else going to see it?

It's an Aussie film about five Aussie blokes who are huge fans of AC/DC and Bon Scott in particular. They make a pact, and years later, they have to follow through on it.

Looks good.

Really enjoyed it.

A great little story about mateship between a group of young Aussies.

Also great to see some young talent getting a chance (Sam Worthington and Kestie Morassi, amongst others).

I can wait for video/dvd library on this one even though the AC/DC influence is tempting.

Better story than Hystoria (Movie about Def Leppard which I enjoyed) or Detroit Rock City about Kiss ?

Thanks for that, in that case I may catch a look sometime. I was going to avoid it like the plague as IMO AC/DC are about the most overrated hard rock act of all time.

Any Aussie film is good, especially with Steve Curry. Have to go see it, too much footy on the agenda though and there is something called studying. Never done it but i better.

One of the blokes is Stephen Curry, and another looks like Matthew Scarlett, so there isn't much left.

Yeah the end parts are filmed in Freo (cemetery, obviously). A few of my friends are in it for a few seconds because they asked the drama students of Perth to go down to the cemetery in black clothing for the final scenes.

I saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Aussie comedies anyway so I can'tve been disappointed. Worthington is a great actor, I wish it wasn't Ronnie that had to die! Good lil story, and a thumbs up.
