Very well executed

Such a frustrating disappointment

Aneesa Wardle

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is the type of film that if it was on U-Tube would get dozens of hits...maybe even triple figures. The movie centers around "nerd" Toby who fakes the whole "genuine" part. He speaks as if he is faking some kind of cleft lip. The nerd aspect is so phony and overdone it is boring. The movie is slow and is not worth watching even if...especially if you are Toby's mother. If seeing a grown fat man in diapers with a binky being spanked turns you on, this might be 5 star entertainment for you.
