A work colleague visited relatives in NZ recently, and I felt exhausted just hearing her describe the flights! She did also mention that they'd had snow for the first time in years.

It would appear to have been made part Australian, part British and part USA and it was first (and as far as I know only) shown in the USA. In short (and I'm being very defensive of my partially adopted country) it appears to have had little to do with New Zealand apart from being filmed there.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-31378374411466645742013-06-22T12:43:13.312-04:002013-06-22T12:43:13.312-04:00I've put the movie in my Netflix saved queue -...I've put the movie in my Netflix saved queue - it isn't available yet.
