Swinging In The Sauna

A 2006 enlightening musical comedy that follows the journey of three young girls who travel through time via a magical sauna.

The girls travel to meet some of rock's greatest legends such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Elton John, The Beatles, The Beegees, Bon Jovi and the Spice Girls. Yes, you heard me, the Spice Girls.



(Jamie O'Connell as Elton John, Katie O'Connell as Johnny Cash, Tamsyn Burness as Elvis Presley)


Starring Jamie O'Connell as Angel, Coco, Elton John, Paul McArtney, David Bryan and a Beegee, Katie O'Connell as Brittany, Judith, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Richie Sambora, and A Beegee and Tamsyn Burness as Summer, Priscilla, Elvis Presley, George Harrison, Jon Bon Jovi himself and a Beegee, the casting is purely confusing. BUT IT WORKS! Yes it does. Highly colorful and exuberant costumes, make following the character changes easy and fun. And wow oh wow does it really show off the actress's versatility and acting abilities? My oh my yes it does.
Filmed and edited painfully by Reece and Ryan, Swinging in the Sauna features some of the latest cinematic and filmic techniques, that were very unique back in 2006. It also features an ol' lightning bolt and some earthquakes, risky stuff, but it works.

(Poor old Angel being struck by lightning for the fifth time. We're suprised she survived.)

You should watch this movie. If we had a link for it, you should have really clicked on it and watched it, would you have? There's a thrilling twist at the end too.

(Well you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk)

The movie explores such themes as friendship and faithfulness and fun. Yes. And the acting is purely and truly lovely. Really it is. Very unique. Heard of 'Hot Tub Time Machine' that was released this year? Really who are they trying to kid, they obviously stole this idea off of us. Sauna/ hot tub? Same thing! Only ours was made 4 years earlier on a $0 budget. Shame we didn't have enough money for copyright at the age of 14/15

(Shake it baby)

Here's what people thought of Swinging in the Sauna:

"A beautiful and inspiring piece which embraced the true essence of freedom," Nelson Mandela.

"The way I was portrayed was down to a tee, Jamie O'Connell is a legend"- Elton John

"Like rocking out at a real Bon Jovi concert"- Richie Sambora

"Life is like a pink cupcake, nobody knows why it is the way it is."- Anon

"This movie embodies the essence of succulence"- Sark.


And before we go, we'd like to analyse one quote from Sark:

"Eat mangoes naked and lick the juice off your arms"-
well that really speaks for itself doesn't it? She's an old nutjob. But a wise and tremendous one at that.

Keep up the Juicyness,
