    Engaging and hilarious

    What a great film. It is funny, preposterous and gripping with a superb cast, especially the incandescent Nicole Faraday. Great cameos from Jeremy Edwards and Nick Moran too.

    Fabulous!!!

    I love this film. So much fun. Great performances and directing. Nicole Faraday is as wonderful as ever. 👏 👏 I can't wait to watch it again.

    10/10 would watch again

    Hilarious, great comedic film. The story is really great and the comedic timings are terrific. All actors involved performed exceptionally well.

    AMAZING

    Captivating from start to end lots of twists and turns. Never laughed so much in my life.

    Terrible.

    Don't believe all the 10 star reviews, they all look like they're made by the same person, and all of the reviewers have only ever reviewed this, the film is terrible, the acting is atrocious, I only watched this film after reading the great reviews and to see how fabulous the actress mentioned in a few of the glowing reviews was as I'd never heard of her before and was intrigued to see who she was. The acting is wooden throughout, I really don't understand why some of the other reviewers refer to the comedic timing as it was anything but timed, this is one of the worst films I've seen in a long while.

    • Trivia
      Although the lead role was already cast, the director Raza felt something was missing. Overnight he saw Max Abraham on a Mc Donnalds advert. He contacted Max's agent the next day and offered him the role without auditioning him. Even though Max doesn't say a word in the advert, Raza felt that his silence spoke volumes. This leading Max to winning Best Leading Actor in the Fusion International Film festival 2020 along with Martin Trenaman as Best Supporting Role.
