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

Rubbish
This film is very poorly acted, very laughable in places. The subject matter attempts to shock (?), maybe, I don't know, but it didn't shock me, didn't open my eyes to things I didn't already know and parts of it, which were obviousley trying to be serious were just plain funny, mainly the poor acting, unrealistic situations. I would not like to spend more than five minutes in the company of Mama Sunshine, especially with those kids singing! It's dibolically hilarious.
