CGiii Comment

A young Chinese student falls for his lecturer who is teaching [surprise,surprise] Foster's Maurice - with that kind of premise you just know it's going to end in tears!

The soundtrack was probably written and played...by a toddler...on some kind of toy keyboard - it just adds to how intensely annoying and inept this hogswash actually is.

Just awful.
