Broken Hill 2009

Broken Hill (2009)    An Australian teen tries to leave behind his rural roots in the Outback to become a musician.  He gets distracted by a new American student at his school,  hey get arrested for a prank and assigned to community service as a team.  His father is not very supportive and doesn't believe his son has what it takes.
    This is good, both teens hear the music inside themselves but it's a tough sell to teach jail inmates to sing and play instruments.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

102 min, Drama directed by Dagen Merrill with Luke Arnold, Timothy Hutton, Alexa Vega, Peter Lamb, Andy McPhee, Che Timmins, Rhys Wakefield, John Clarke, Leo Taylor, George Kapiniaris, Ebony Ween, Luke O'Loughlin, Adam Grocke.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.4 out of 10, 50% critic 67% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
