User Reviews

Laughable

This made-for-TV drama is terrible, basically. That one word sums it up. The acting is appalling, mixed with a barely there plot this film out stays its welcome two seconds in. I watched this film after a someone told me how laughably bad it was and they were right. The whole thing comes off like something a first year film student would churn out, a student who hadnt paid any attention to anything said that year.

And what is all this fuss about the little girl in it? She was probably the worst actress in this film, despite all the hype over her she cant even deliver a simple line without it sounding like its being fed to her. I'm sure there was another girl the casting crew could have hired instead of this poor child who was clearly only there as a result of a stage mum. The only way she can have all these good reviews is if shes putting them on here herself.

Stay away from this film, trust me. It is seriously a waste of time, there are far better better things you could be doing with your time like watching paint dry or counting grass in a meadow.
