It was only halfway through this film that I remembered it was supposed to be a comedy...I think I laughed once!?

And it contained some of the worst music I have ever heard in a film. 'Soft jazz' interludes? What a waste of an opportunity to create a brilliant, memorable soundtrack.

I agree with other reviewers that it felt like an episode of Grange Hill. Not a feature-length version though, just a reeeaallly loooong episode - the first hour could have been condensed into about 20 minutes without losing anything.

The pace started to pick up after the first hour and there were a couple of charming moments, but then it ended. Oh well.
