BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

fandomfatale I went into this movie with much lower expectations than it deserved. It came in under the radar but unlike a lot of other movies that suddenly show up out of nowhere with an unfamiliar cast, it's quite decent. I suppose that might be partly because it's an import from Australia and not just a low-budget American production. I enjoyed pretty much every second of this movie. I wouldn't expect everyone else to think that highly of it, but I'm surprised by the average rating here on IMDB, I do think it's too low. This is in some ways a slice of life film, that takes place over the span of one day and one night. But it's a critical day for most of the characters, many of who are contemplating leaving their rural community. The plot is focused almost entirely on romance - which was a big plus for me, not a criticism. Billy and Lucy are best friends with opposite personalities. Lucy has decided she wants to move to the big city, and Billy knows he doesn't want her to go but they're both a little slow to realize - and admit - that they're in love. Lots of angst ensues. Their friend, Sparrow, has a long time crush on Mary but is terrified to tell her - and terrified of her. Various other friends are at similar romantic crossroads. Another review mentioned the soundtrack - it also struck me. Some of the songs were a little too emotional for my taste but the hint of drama suited the angst in the Billy/Lucy romance and the film overall is definitely light-hearted with that wacky all-night party trope you've probably seen before. Also there's a dog named Knob. So there's that. Not a perfect movie but I loved it. Anyone who likes stories about best friends who fall in love should definitely watch this one. I give the Billy/Lucy romance a 9/10 and the rest of the movie a 7/10.

samconlan94 This movie makes me feel good. The soundtrack is the best, and Morgan Griffin is such a cute actress that is romantic. I haven't seen this in cinemas, This is one of the best Australian Comedy of all.

niutta-enrico It's a predictable and enjoyable flick, revolving around the (good) look and the (good) acting of its rising star, Xavier Samuel and his partners, Morgan Griffin in the first place.Frames are full of sun, fresh and good feelings, beer and cars (utes…): as stated in the synopsis it requires a young heart to enjoy it but it's well made, with good care for details and a general good taste.Even if you cannot refrain from asking yourself what is the point of drawing circles in the dirt with you car's wheels, its current rating on IMDb (4.5 at the time I'm writing) is too low (on my opinion). It deserves a 6. And BTW, in case you never heard Dave Baxter's 'Love Love Love' before, I'm sure you'll love it, as i did.

dcr-rock 'Spin Out' offers the audience a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy a fun ride as they witness a feel-good coming-of-age story. The film is littered with Australian themes and discourses that are common among some of the nation's most successful films - mateship, larrikinism, the Aussie battler, small country towns and the outback.Everything in the film is solid without being exceptional. There are some nice performances from the leads, Xavier Samuel and Morgan Griffin, but the film truly belongs to supporting actor Travis Jeffery. He brings to the screen an admirable blend of humour and pathos that really becomes the connection between the audience and the story.The co-direction of the film by Marc Gracie and Tim Ferguson works well and is rather cinematic considering their backgrounds in television. Ferguson and co-writer Edwina Exton seem to genuinely love their characters and have worked to blend an array of small country town figures and issues in an effective way to give the majority of supporting players a chance to shine.I think the film is best summed up by another reviewer that stated it is 'sweet but parochial'. It is a generally fun, if slightly flawed, film that I really enjoyed watching. Sometimes movies should be just about having a good time with good characters and this is one of them.
