shameless

Rating: 1/10 (30 November 2003)

I went expecting a mindless bit of fun and found myself cringing for more than two hours. All these nice actors must be appalled to see themselves implicated in this disaster. The script is simply incoherent, with holes you could drive a truck through. From the hideous child love story to the appalling musical numbers to the preposterous plot twist involving the president of the United States, these writers have a great deal to answer for. No form of pandering is too low. Those battling holiday depression, beware: this debacle will leave you contemplating suicide.
