From the sun-drenched beaches of Australia comes this sexy coming-of-age romance. Cute teen Midget Hollow (Jack Baxter) wanders through life riding big waves and partying with surfer boys. When Midget s best friend s gay brother Cass arrives on the scene, the two quickly dive head first into a clandestine sea of sexual awakening. As his lusty romance with the dark-eyed Adonis is soon discovered, Midget has to navigate between his friends reaction and his newfound love all while growing up during a hot summer of fun in the sun!

Better things to do...
Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
tla produces some of my favorite movies including Latter Days and Another Gay Movie, so when I saw this title I had high hopes for another fantastic movie. This, however, was not that movie.
Some have compared it to Shelter because it involves surfers but I find the movies very different. Shelter is worth watching, for example, this movie is not. Shelter actually had a beginning, a middle, and an end; this movie -didn't.
With beautiful cinematography, Tan Lines is set in a small town reachable by ferry boat. The main character, Midget shares a bed with his mother and has for the past 18 years of his life. Midget spends most of his days hanging out with his friends either getting drunk, high, or both, and surfing.
The movie is basically the story of a changing point in Midget's life and how it affects the people around him.
The acting isn't all that great and the pacing the movie is awkward and offbeat.
It's not really worth the time and effort.

very well done, the story took a left turn at the end, but was good.
excellent talent by leading actors, hope to see more of them from
other australian products when they become available

Life's a beach, but it's not Manly
Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
Bad acting, bad editing, and the fact that apart from the bisexual lead boy, all the others look like they were drafted straight in from the Ugly Model Agency, make this a difficult film to plough through. If you're thinking 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours' with gay characters, think again. It's more like Aussie Bizarro World.

not that impressed with the movie.
it was sort of slow pace.
can't recommend it.

Simple & Quirky
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Its simplicity kept it honest and real. Its quirkiness allowed it to make points and allowed us to understand the characters better - without pretense. I quite enjoyed this and felt at times I was watching signs of the brilliance found in early John Waters flicks...
