Soundtrack:

Ain't No Stopping

This movie sucks! ..And it still sucks..! Nothing' but pure pappy-show!

I went to see this film with my girlfriend.. Although she's a fan of ALL SAINTS.. I thought I'd treat her to see this film.. I must admit, after ten minutes into the film.. I started to get bored and wanted to fall asleep.

OK, so Dave Stewart maybe in the director's chair.. but his biggest mistake was directing a film that had no sense.. Pure pappy-show!

Well anyway, by the end of the film.. I looked at my girlfriend.. and from the look of her face.. She was surely cheesed off with the film..

It was a total thumbs down for the both of us.. We felt that the ALL SAINTS singers should stick to singing..

But these days now, we don't usually hear about the Appleton Sisters.. Melanie Blatt, well? I guess she's still gtting back into singing.. And what about Shaznay Lewis..? I have no idea..

Sorry Dave.. But if you want to go back into directing..? Get someone to give a decent script! Totally diabolical 1 out of 10!
