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!

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?
