I've seen more interesting walls of paint drying.

This must be a film one either loves or hates. I should imagine the only people that love it were either (a) in it, (b) related to someone that was in it, or (c) think that the actors were 'cute'.

The only reason I saw it through to the end was because I'd paid £3 to rent it; thank goodness it's only 75 minutes long or I may well have had to slash my wrists to alleviate the sheer, utter ennui.

In principle the storyline could work. The actors, I'm sure, are capable of better, even though I've seen less wooden trees. The camera-work isn't bad. But the scriptwriter(s) should be banned from ever using pen, pencil or word processor ever again.

Save yourself the £3 (and the almost overwhelming desire to eat ground glass and end it all) and rent something else instead - anything else, in fact: chances are it will be better than this.
