More surfing going on in Tan Lines. The basic plot idea is the same as Shelter: young Midget Hollows (Jack Baxter) falls for his best friend Dan’s (Jed Clark) older brother Cass (Daniel O’Leary) and they hang around the beach and surf. But in Australia. That’s where the similarities end. Shelter is by far a better film. Tan Lines is in places unbearably slow, so if you watch, a remote with fast forward kept handy is a good idea. I just couldn’t develop any liking for the characters, although the talking religious icons in Cass’ bedroom were kinda funny.
