Great film
Go, and see it for yourself, but don't expect the usual shallow monotony! Come with a clear mind and you'll enjoy!
Greetings!!!
Proof that nobody on this project was sober....
Waste of time and money!!!!
Unfortunately for my self no reviews were available before going to see this waste of time so called "movie"....
The title of the movie was reason enough for me to stay well clear, but my friend being a George Clooney fan I was reluctantly dragged to see it,& it was pure torture for me & my friend she fell asleep half way & I entertained myself by texting all those people who you normally just ignore on your phone, Yes! The movie was really that bad.
NO story line, no plot, poor acting, and awful direction the list is endless!
I was so angry wanted to bang my friends head against the wall, anyway we all learn from our mistakes. Have learnt a lesson to rely on my gut instincts next time.
