I was sitting last night, too lazy to turn the TV channel over. That'll teach me. What a load of truly appalling, predictable, badly acted meaningless tripe. Neil Morrisey is poor, even by his standards. Samantha Janus plays some sort of aerobics instructor who fails to charge for her lessons. I used to rate her as a TV actress, but this just shows that she's not destined for Hollywood. It's an attempt at The Full Monty, but lacks any of the humour, skill or funny dialogue that TFM possesses. In fact, the script is the worst part of this. The appearance of Neil Pearson from Drop The Dead Donkey cemented this in every way as a second rate British film that should never have been made. It's movies like this that eat up cash that should instead be given to innovative and interesting new ideas and directors. A disgrace. This was two hours of my life that I'm never getting back. Don't make the same mistake as me, if this appears on your TV screen, turn over.
