Spin Out (2016)

To me, this movie is perfection.

That was an excellent one.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

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.

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.

I don't expect too much when decided to watch this movie. I just want to know some Australian's culture and when I notice that its about ute muster or we can say run around drive, I go for this one. Its good, its really works for me. A kind of subtle love story between two character who have been friend since childhood. I really love this movie, even though maybe someone will say that its just some cliché romance story where you can absolutely know what will happen in the end. I still really love it. The feel good flow, the cute side love story between Sparrow & Mary that is really fun to watch. We can say that its a fun lighthearted movie where you can smile on your own. Its nothing much but its not a waste of time. Don't let your love run.
