Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
