Bra Boys and Smart People
Bra Boys is a decent documentary about a surfing tribe, who the authorities call a “gang,” located outside of Sydney. Some of the surfing footage is terrific but the story gets bogged down when it focuses on the legal troubles of two brothers who are founding members of the Bra Boys.
Smart People is an abomination. I could talk about the uninspired script, characters that no one cares about, or the occasional laugh, but it’s not worth anyone’s time.
I don’t recommend either film; although, Smart People has been compared to the far superior, Squid and the Whale, which I highly recommend.
