A charming Australian comedy about a con-man (Bryan Brown) trying to scam an entire oceanside town, and falling in love with a resort owner (Karen Allen), who has a young son. It's innocent and fun. There's an excellent folkish soundtrack by Richard Thompson. It's a nice movie that very little people know about.
