Crazy Credits
Felicity Devonshire tops the cast list during the end credits, but instead of receiving a written character description, she is represented by a drawing of how she appears in the film. See more »
Mostly pretty bland comedy, desperately contrived around its concept with an air quaint British naughtiness to keep it afloat.
I have a low key appreciation for "Pride" and "Gluttony" is sort of ribald good fun; it's fapable at the very least.
Unsurprisingly it's "Lust" that stands out among the crowd but not because it's funny or sexy. It's a disarmingly haunting depiction of loneliness and desperation.
