CGiii Comment
It took two directors...to [dismally] reproduce every [dismal] cliché in the book.
A sample of the writing/humour:
"I'm just gonna have a fag first."
"Excuse me?""Oh my God, it means cigarette in England!"
And, that's as good as it gets!
Messieurs Ellis and MacKinnley need to either watch some low-budget, independent, high-on-talent films (and absorb every drop of inspiration they can garner)...or, rethink their film-making careers.
In truth, this is a vanity project that back-fired...[horrendously]...for Mr Ellis. Very few people can carry off being director/writer/producer and star! Mr Ellis is not one of those people...less may - indeed - mean more!
