mizim   Review #8312 - Dated: 2nd of May, 2013
  Author: mizim

According to the blurb on the back this film is based upon the play which is based upon a true story. Four young women of aboriginal background love to sing and yearn to be famous. When they sing in a talent quest the catch a man's attention and he helps them train and audition to sing for the troops over in Vietnam.

The singing in this is wonderful and some of the songs are a great deal of fun. This movie has a good mixture ranging from romance to drama to comedy and comes with a lot of heart. It's always a good sign when a movie manages to cover those aspects and cover them well. This is a movie that I would recommend it to anyone who loves good music and great acting.

Overall I think that this is a very well done movie. There were a couple of bits that seemed like it was added in just for the drama, but who knows, real life can be a bit bizarre at times. This is a fun movie and well worth the watch, may even get a few tears rolling.
