A genuinely engaging Aussie film about a lad who comes to a new school, ends up on a project with a geeky-looking classmate and they slowly fall for each other. It's clearly done on a low budget and is a bit rough around the edges; but it does attempt to tackle some bigoted behavioural stereotypes and it doesn't just follow the procedural norms as it works its way to a rather grim, if ultimately empowering, conclusion.
