CGiii Comment

Oh dear...did we miss the point?

A vile child with a horrible hairdo...cannot compete with his muscle-bound sister...so, he does something so heinous...that any empathy for him completely disappears.

Although well-made...it is thoroughly unpleasant - especially the overly-tanned bodybuilders.
As for the ending...ridiculous.
