CGiii Comment

I act, I direct, I write...I over-act, I under-direct, I write BADLY.

My ego is over-inflated because I starred in Queer as Folk.

Paige’s character is almost moronic, cringingly, clingingly so.

In fact, this film comes across, frankly, as disturbing.

It may highlight societal problems with the male adult/child friendship thing...but, this execution certainly throws a big black shadow over the whole argument.

Only a mad parent would let their child near this weirdo.

Appalling and irresponsible.

Oh - and inept.
