Sexy Subject, Boring Movie.

When I read a synopsis of this film, I was led to believe it was a comedy, a farce at that. This movie is not. The only thing going for this movie was its brevity. I had no interest in paying attention for the last half of the movie as the characters were unsympathetic and the plot was lacking. I'll admit, I was lured in by the subject matter, but, in the end, I was let down to an extent that I am glad I got it from Netflix so I could send it back as soon as possible. I had hoped to laugh, but instead I checked my email. If you want to watch a comedy, THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. Oh, and also, apparently I need to keep writing to finish out the review, so I'll just reiterate. IT WAS BORING.
