what a pile of pants
1 June 2000 | by sleeping_okaySee all my reviews

this should really be called "pants lands", really, i mean, what going on? But seriously, i only saw a bit of it, and it actually looked quite good but it doesnt get a good mark all the same

However, the direction was good and the story was quite interesting, the acting was also good, all in all a top quality film.
