CGiii Comment

A film that has no idea what it is...or, where it's supposed to go.

The comedy is forced, shabby and unfunny.

The gay couple - incidental and irrelevant.

Ms Campion: know thy limits.

The(ir) Blurb...

While on a journey of discovery in exotic India, beautiful young Ruth Barron falls under the influence of a charismatic religious guru. Her desperate parents then hire P.J.
