Movie reviews are not generally my specialty – however I was asked to review this aussie drama about family and thought that this was the best location for the review.

The boys are back is a bit of a heart wrenching tear jerker, if you do like a bit of a cry at the movies then this one might just fit the bill. A sentimental journey of fatherhood, a love story, and the aussie bush as a gorgeous backdrop – with these three elements you might just think its a good girly flick. There are some challenging grim moments, lots of humour, and of course there is a moral to the story. While the general rise and fall of the drama is predictable, and some of the storylines don’t always make sense, the convincing acting, and the fact that it is based on a true story, along with the fantastic scenery and photography, make it convincing – enough to wreak havoc on your mascara – bring tissues (its rated pg – but is not a kids movie). Check out a trailer here.
