    Words fail me...

    ..dire (not strong enough),horrendous(it certainly is)comedy(painful laugh-free zone).And yes the lead does have a touch of the Cherie Blairs about her.

    Enjoyable, but nothing new here

    There is always the same problem when a TV show becomes a movie. You have to reintroduce the characters, their stories, etc etc. This often takes up a lot of the movie and that is certainly the case here. We've seen all this before. That said, if you like the series you'll probably like this. There was just something a bit pointless about it.
