Pathetic.


Saw this on Film4 last night. This has to be one of the poorest films I have watched in a long long time. The acting is dreadful, the characters shallow and the situations pretentious (I mean what's with the Chinese fan??? Who the hell spends half their life twirling a Chinese fan in their hands?? Give me a break). And the storyline - you gotta be kidding me!!??? Is there a story? Shallow boy sees shallower girl twirling a stupid fan. He travels her to the ends of the world (well, up to Cape Verde, anyhow) to win her hand in marraige. Then days before the wedding, he discovers she's a klepto. So, the good boy says hell with you and the film ends. Golllly. Did I miss something?? Yaaawwn.

I decided to watch this film seeing that it had a 6.3 rating. Only later did I notice that there were only 7 ratings. Perhaps all the raters were friends and family of the director. I will proceed to give it a rating of 1 (only because 0 is not an option).
