CGiii Comment

Oh dear...what happened?!?

Where did all that charming Irish wit go? Right down the plug-hole.

The gay storyline (and characters) will make you gag - this amount of political correctness is damaging to the health - for each and all.

But...the miscasting is spectacular. The theft from other like-minded 'comedies' is utterly criminal. There's more...

...the nude-in-the-woods scene - cleverly disguised penises?!? C'mon! What the hell was that all about...none of the actors wanted to show their knobs because - presumably - they thought the director was the biggest knob of them all and they didn't want to be upstaged - possibly, the most ill-conceived scene in the history of filmmaking. Wait, there's more...

...the trite sentimentality...you will be vomiting by the end. No doubt about it.
