Within the first few minutes of watching this you'll completely see what I'm getting at when I describe the acting and direction of this movie as pathetically poor.

The possibly only redeeming feature is the lead actor who, because he's in his natural character, manages to lend a cheery countenance throughout.

But the rest of the actors, try though they might to follow the characters they've been given, are hampered by a direction that is wooden, badly cut (too many pauses between camera cutaways) and just flounders along in some misbegotten mess of a screenplay.

If it wasn't for the lead it wouldn't have even got two stars out of me. Avoid at all costs.
