Mildly involving tale of four orphan boys in the Outback

Radcliffe is good at showing vulnerability but without the skills to give it gradation. The magic doesn't work for him this time.

Director Rod Hardy adds some whimsical touches to an otherwise cliche-filled story, but the young orphans never emerge as full-blooded characters.
