The only reason i wanted to see this movie was Daniel Radcliffe, now hold on, i`m not a fan of his i was just curious what would a dude the same age as me do after reaching fame.As some of you know Daniel got the role of Harry Potter by accident (David Heyman saw him and said he looks like Harry or something like that) and the Harry Potter series is the biggest movie he ever had a role in, there is a theory that very successful newcomers can`t be cast into other big movies because they would steal the attention or make it seem weird (see Mark Hamill – Luke Skywalker).
Surprisingly Radcliffe`s acting is very good though not many lines from his side, probably because his lack of aussie accent, the rest of the cast does a great job, but the main problem of the movie is lack of action/substance, the movie drags and gets rather boring with a lot of plot holes, someone explain to me why in late December we are told about a girl (i don`t wanna spoil) that she will return “next summer” that`s pretty big, I actually read an synopsis that said it`s actually SUMMER, but last time i checked Christmas is in December.
I understand that Kangoostralia is hot in what we consider winter but come on people, anyway if you find interesting the holiday of four orphans and their adventures into getting adopted by a charming family in late 1960s you should really see this flick.

In Australia and that side of the world ie argentine, etc., December is summertime. The seasons are reversed from North America.

My Boy Jack is far superior. His theatre play as well (“The Play What I Wrote”). But you might not wanna see him naked.

no prolly not, also i heard that December Boys initially had an nude scene (sex scene) with Daniel but it was prolly cut or never made
