Don't bother

I have just seen this, and am trying to work out why it is so truly awful. The worst thing was not the hammy and predictable plot, the two dimensional characters, useless acting or the cheesy male lead, but the fact that it was obviously and unconvincingly dubbed - I think they might have even used each voice for several roles. Certainly the young women all sounded the same.

Another thing, why do films set in Greece, but made in English by English/American speakers, totally ignore authentic Greek body language? I think I will go and watch a Vougiouklaki to try and wipe the taste of this out of my mouth.
