This CD has been left at a side for quite sometime until i decided to watch it last night. The reason i did not wanna watch is because i'm afraid of that heavy aussie accent. But i was so wrong, the accent is not tat strong actually :)

Toni & Rachel has been nominated for a few several awards after this movie though both of them are still new in this industries, but they are not really that famous now i guess. Coz i only know Nicole Kidman, haha~ Daniel Lapaine is hot i should say, but his acting is kinda bad in this movie.
