CGiii Comment
Something went terribly wrong with this project - and, that something would be called the script...coupled with a director who has no idea how to handle comedy.
With such notable names - Caine and Gambon - you would expect something that was palatable but, this drivel surpasses even those eminent talents and lies squarely, like sludge, on the floor.
Michael Caine in drag - now that should have been a moment of hysteria - it's not.
