Beware, this film is clearly being reviewed by crew or the production
company from the film. This is a cynical campaign. They are exploiting
IMDb and the people giving it 10 out of 10 should be banned from
commenting again. (funny how they felt compelled to review this and
have never reviewed another film before or since).It is obvious because
other reviews are universally bad. Many have commented on the peculiar
irregularities of the other posts. The integrity of IMDb is compromised
by this kind of shameful episode. Also, two members of the cast
appeared on TV this morning claiming it has received 9 awards. IMDb
credits it with 1. Sorry, clearly The Glasgow Evening Herrald's Best
Supporing Actor in a British Snow Based Mocumentary Feature was not
considered important enough for this site to note.

Hi Rufus19692001. Ok You've made me write on a forum. Damn! How could you make me sink so low?! Umm I saw this movie and liked it! Check out the external reviews if you don't like the user reviews. There's plenty of good ones and they are from professional critics who could have been bought I suppose but I kind of doubt it with a film as small as this. I don't know about the awards but I do know the imdb site isn't accepting awards and hasn't for a while. Hope that helps.

i think probably 90% of the people on this board are actually a group of three or four people. that said, i can understand why, if they have poured their heart and soul into this they need to get it off the ground. i actually worked on this picture myself and was treated like *beep* but the director seemed very likeable and unpretentious.

so David , i wish all the best with future projects! blah

Haha, I was thinking about this, too: I saw 5.9/10, after only 50+ votes. usually the first few votes are overwhelmingly in the 10/10 range. The fact that the rating fell to 5.9 after only a few dozen votes, tells me that it's probably not a great movie. The ones associated with it have shot their salvo of 10/10 votes, and now the neutral viewers started pouring in the 2s and 3s.

That said: it's a fun little flick, and I gave it a 6/10.
