Refreshing role for Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame, as the oldest of a group of boys (orphans) who are treated to a seaside holiday on the Australian coast. Great family film. Spectacular scenery and music & very nice movie line.

Admittedly, likely the only reason this movie was even released in North America is the celebrity of the eldest child actor, Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe. However, this coming-of-age film quietly dazzles. A combination of the soulful grittiness of the film's well-chosen soundtrack and the ruddy wildness of the Australian landscape easily seduce the viewer, much like it does the orphans who quickly fall in love with their seaside holiday and the couple who may adopt one of them. But camaraderie wins out. The casual banter and brotherly quarreling between the December Boys make subtle magic out of the embrace of boyhood and the awakening into manhood.

I watched this movie, and it's probably one of my new favorites. I loved it... it was such a good story, good acting, good music, and overall just a great movie. I think it's a must-see. hehe.
