User Reviews

REALLY Great film.

I watched this on a plane journey earlier today and thought it was excellent. Well acted, directed and produced. Great dynamics between all the leads.

5 Star!

I thought the characters played well off each other. Its great to see new actors who can really hold their own. The two leads are well supported by 4 other actors / actresses who are excellent. The only actor who I've seen before is the leads father.

In short its not a film that I would naturally have gone to the cinema to see but it had me laughing out loud on a plane and that does take some doing! Worth a watch.
