CGiii Comment

A very funny account of Ms Payne's activities.

Unfortunately, Leland's script delves nowhere - it is written and played for laughs. And, those laughs are delivered on an ad hoc basis.

The story has more to offer - don't expect anything but naughty, light entertainment - then, you won't be disappointed.
