A movie divided into chapters, some of which work, notably a mother persuading her daughter to have an abortion, and some don't. The use of various actors to play the protagonist in search of love may show the universality of its theme, but means that non

[Highly rated reviewer]

diabolical

How anyone had the audacity to write this is beyond me; how anyone had the nerve to make a film out of it is a complete mystery. It started badly, continued much the same and ended badly. To say that I was confused is an understatement; why anyone would want to watch a film where an adult has sex with a 12year old girl is just disgusting. Get this film if you want to be bored, confused and disgusted all at the same time.I would like to add more about the storyline and content of the film, but that's a little difficult as I am still having therapy due to the utter stupidity of this film

'Palindromes'

One of the most boring, confussing and uninteresting load of crap I have ever had the misfortunte to rent on DVD.

If you could manage to reach the hallelujah kids and their singing you would have reached the only good bit in the movie but you have to go through Mumma Sunshine first and that is painful... After that you should do one of two things. Take the DVD out of your player and wiz it out the window at someone you dislike, if it hits it was worth something, but if it misses and lands near them, tell them they can have it! Bore the pants off them ,if you can't hit them. Or two, blow another hole through it.

Or failing the above options, hirer a hit man to blow the rest of the producers brains out - this is'nt as bad as you think, remember he never had many to start with, so he wont miss the rest - Obviously, he will be dead!

But hay look at the bright side, I less bit of crap camoflaged in a DVD cover coming through your letter box.
