Film Review
Despite some occasional funny moments, this is a film that just consistently fails to sparkle.  The script has potential which is never realised, the plot seems to alternately drag or wander aimlessly, and the acting is absolutely diabolical in some places.  The end result is a film that is painfully tedious to watch.
