CGiii Comment

This kind of metaphor has been done time and time again - with better results. The script is crap. The acting - apart from the kid - is worse than am-dram.

And, the beard looks like an old piece of felt that has been savagely attacked by a psychotic meerkat.


Watch...

 

The(ir) Blurb...
