How did Kelly Brook get mixed up in this?

OK folks, I have one simple question, how did Kelly Brook get mixed up in this pitiful excuse for a movie? This must have been the lowest point in her career. Not in a single interview I have seen her in has she ever mentioned this movie. When you see it, it's not hard to work out why. I never thought I'd see the day when the lovely and talented Kelly Brook would have her name associated with anything like this. It goes to show that anything really is possible!

I hate to admit it, but I'd rather face the torture of watching the worst edition of THE BIG BREAKFAST (a morning UK TV show back in the 1990s Kelly presented) 10 times over than see this movie again. I think even Kelly herself would probably feel the same way!

what should Kelly Brook be doing then?

Strictly come dancing? No wait shes already done that to revive her career! She can't act or present but she can dance a little.

Why did Kelly Brook do this movie? For the paycheque. She was a failed TV presenter, trying to start an acting career. Her role in this film was a job, and she got paid. If she'd waited for a leading role in a mega-budget studio movie, she'd be waiting still.

It must have been a very small paycheque! I wouldn't really say she was a failed TV presenter. She was just unlucky enough to be presenting a morning TV show that was a long way past its sell-by date! But even that TV show was better than this miserable excuse for a movie!

I do agree that Kelly can certainly dance!

She did mention the movie in an interview once, just not by name. I seem to recall her saying the people were lovely but the shooting conditions were miserable because of the constant rain. It seemed as though she didn't enjoy making it. I wish I could remember where I read it to get you a link.
