CGiii Comment

20 years after her debut feature...Roboh presents her second offering.

That really is a very long time to come up with such a diabolical script.

The added bonus is that you also get diabolical acting.

Newman won an award at the New York Film Festival for his role.

It must have been a very dry year...

No evidence of talent - anywhere in this train-wreck of cheap sentimentality.
