disappointment, 15 August 2006

Author: kay-rowe-1 from United Kingdom

Sorry but this film was a real disappointment to watch, and with a weird ending to the film. It seems to me this film was only saying "Dont over drink when you have children" which normal people don't that I know of,unless your alcoholic other that nothing els. The writer's needs to rethink about their story lines and ending to keep the people watching their films, you cant complain about the actors they tried to do it Justice. But it was long winded and boring to watch like the old saying you can't flog a dead horse I am sorry to say.That is the reason why I gave this film a marking of only 4 and that was only due to the actors performance which was good.
