CGiii Comment

6 months of sexual abstinence...just to prove the depth of your love!!!

C'mon - what a load of fucking crap!!!

A gay graduate saving his virginity for someone special!!!

C'mon.

A lesbian bartender giving advice to a lesbian graduate on how to get laid!!!

C'mon.

...that's the first 10 minutes...things, most certainly, don't improve. It just gets a whole lot worse.

There are so many handsome faces on show...but, a handsome face without any acting ability is what is commonly known as a model...without exception, there is no acting talent on display.

But then...the models didn't have much to work with...the writing is screamingly, hair-rippingly, pathetic...the 'douching ropes' - WTF?!?

By the end...you will feel as if you had just received a box-ticking, patronising lecture delivered by someone who permanently resides in Cloud Cuckoo Land where everything happens in toilets.

A good point...it's in focus...but, that's got nothing to do with the director.

A truly excruciating experience.
