    This movie is a brilliant mix of comedy and drama. There were OMG moments and moments that had me laughing out loud. The characters were colorful and interesting, two of which were quite quirky which added to the fun. The script was very well-written with loads of wit and some really nice twists. There was also some great cringe-worthy scenes that were brilliant (kudos to their very talented makeup artist), as well as scenes that had me saying WTF and loving every moment of it.

    The cast was awesome and delivered great performances! I especially loved the character, Jonathan, played by James McCreadie. His performance was absolutely brilliant! Everyone gave brilliant performances, but you will see what I mean when you watch the movie. Jonathan's character was played brilliantly.

    This movie is guaranteed to make you laugh and make you "feel" right up until the very end! I highly recommend this movie!

    A mix of amateur and professional everything it wont win Oscars, but then nowadays an Oscar is not necessarily indicative of quality. what the industry needs is more of this and less planets exploding and laser beam eyes.

    We need those willing to make endeavours like this, we need those willing to take part in these small moments of perfect beauty and they are just that, because they're made with that love of the moment of creation rather than any adulation or criticism that arrives after the fact.

    This film is chock full of moments some better than others , but it moves along without hitting any brick walls or getting side tracked by trying to be to avant garde and you can see the people involved are loving every minute.

    It wont make you think to much, but it will make you laugh and this world needs more laughs.
