User Reviews

Worst movie and historically appropriate

One of the worst movie of recent times, with very rubbish historic info. Scriptwriter, director and production should be ashamed to so laughable scripts. How come they make this comedy and give all wrong information to public.

You should not pay for this garbage and also should not waste your valuable time.

This film was not only pathetically terrible, but also a story line that made no sense. The usual sarcastic one liners fell flat.

I have to give this at least 1 star only cause I'm not allowed to give it less.
