a mess

Romantic comedy mystery mess where the guy who plays Mr Hood, you know Darla's father in the Little Rascals shorts, is a guard on Ellis Island. Romantic entanglements mix with the attempt of gangsters to free one of their number and get stolen money hidden on the island.

At least I think thats what it was about since it isn't very good and more annoying than interesting. Actually it doesn't make a great deal of sense and I found myself not caring almost immediately. I shut the film off after 20 minutes much of which involved scanning the DVD to get to the next interesting bit.

3 out of 10. Only for those desperate at 3am for something to watch thats not an infomercial
