MGN Review:

This movie links comedic and serious themes, sadly it falls just short on both.

There is no doubt that the true story had a comedic slant to it and the screenplay tries to reflect this but it just doesn't really work.

It's ok, but a very low budget feel to it does it no favours.

MGN Rating 6/10
