Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst adult character film role for Nicole Kidman whose previous film credits had been in family or teen movies such as Bush Christmas (1983), BMX Bandits (1983) and Wills & Burke (1985). All these three films had had an Australian classification rating of "PG" or "G". As such, this movie was the first time that Kidman appeared in a movie with a higher classification rating which was an "M" (recommended for ages 15+).

Featured review
Cute romance
Now that Nicole Kidman is a full fledged international star her early films have become accessible to her fans. I love her early work; her brash and spunky Aussie attitude gives this tall perfect beauty an edge. Here she plays a music video queen who is courted by a business executive who's passion is windsurfing. The script has elements of "Flashdance," "Cocktail," and other films that could have only been made in the eighties. Though the action scenes are clumsy (and boring) and the comedy sometimes juvenile, as a romantic date movie it delivers. The relationship between Kidman and Burlinson (who look like Barbie and Ken) is cute and their romance innocent (Burlinson shows up to a late night music session courting Kidman with tuxedo and flowers). Both are perfectly cast and believable in their roles. Kidman gives a wonderful performance and looks as gorgeous as Australia itself. Brief nudity and mild language. If you like windsurfing, Nicole Kidman, and a wholesome romance you've found the right film.
