December Boys sounds so brilliant and I'd like to see Daniel Radcliffe in something else besides Harry Potter.. not that I don't think he's great as Harry Potter. Is he really doing a sex scene with Teresa Palmer?

December Boys is a brilliant film. It brought so many emotions to the table and really gave a meaning behind love, friendship, and family!! I suggest everyone should watch this film! No need to worry, there are no nude scenes in the film--nothing the slightest bit offensive, so younger audiences may watch as well!
