the most irritating thing

She was a bit strange in the movie but Sarah is lovely and a great ambassador for Australia. Lovely person in real life.

Watching the movie I felt bad at the way Australians were portrayed as inbred rednecks.

Yeah, that wasn't cool.

I know, especially the part where she said ALL Australians are that way...oh wait, didn't happen

When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?

I agree, she wasn't representing her entire homeland here, it was just one character. She was beautiful, and funny, and not the smartest person in the world, but the implication wasn't that EVERYONE from her continent was that way! Sheesh. Her character was still very likable, as were the rest of them, I thought. You see dumb or annoying people of all races and origins in movies, it's not like they are saying "I am the ambassador of my country and everyone else is like me!" It was supposed to be stupid fun, not some commentary on the plight of all Australians.

"I just hated that dump blond model..."

I just hate the way you reference someone being "dumB" by not typing it correctly.

I really think she had some of the best lines in the movie and she deleivers them perfectly with this inane smile like she has no idea that what she's saying is off-the-wall: "I had a Dingo named Amanda once. That is until me dad backed over him with the tractor. We were finding peices of him all summer. In the trees, in my little sister hair..."

I don't think this is meant to reflect on Austrialians any more than the Russian Mobster charcters are supposed to mean that all Russians are gangsters.

Lol she was hilarious.

I get that she was a bad steriotype, but come on, everyone knows that not all Aussie's are like that...THEY'RE WORSE (Sorry I'm a Kiwi)
