CGiii Comment
The script was obviously written by a child.
The acting, despite the notable names...straight from the studio of a cringing carpenter.
Production values are fine...but, when a film's backstory is more interesting than the film itself - problems raise their tired heads.
A transvestite in a restaurant, a couple of camp characters with Clockwork Orange eyelashes do not make this CGiii - a shameful waste of money.
