I’d rather watch 2 hours of the real home shopping network!
This movie sets a new precedent of badness for filmmakers to follow. If you see it, you’ll say to yourself, “This can’t possibly get any worse — I mean, I gotta keep watching this because there’s nowhere to go but up… Right?” Wrong. I don’t think that you, the reader, could set out INTENTIONALLY to make a movie this bad and manage to succeed at failure as well as this film did. If you think that there is a “hidden” message in this movie, then you’ve probably missed the real hidden message: don’t waste energy “trying” to make a good movie, when you can make films like this that will still reap profits on video.

A feel good movie
This is a really good feel good movie, nothing much happens, it all works out ok in the end, the male lead is attractive, the female lead gorgeous AND cute and smart… its just an “easy listening” movie out of the top draw. Everyone plays their part well, and the twist in the tail – although it isnt exactly a shock – is handled really really well and subtley. If you want a really meaningful film or something really out there, this isnt it. If you want to cuddle up with your honey and watch 90 mins of well acted, slick, intelligent and unchallenged TV, with a quiet and understated message of hope and all round niceness, this is your movie.

There ARE criticisms one could make, for a start, first of all that like many movies about movies or TV (see EDTV, Truman Show etc etc) it vastly overplays the importance and direct effect of TV on ordinary people, but to dwell on such things is to ignore this movies appeal. It is not trying to be a classic, or a work of genius, just a good movie with a message of hope and an ideal of the universe that – however small it appears to be – is startling in its own way.
