This could easily be my shortest review ever.
I have one word for this film…hideous!
From the first 4 words in the film (all the “F” word) to the cheesy characters and boring storyline . . . this extremely weird film is probably one of the worst films I’ve ever seen in my life! This film makes any Chuck Norris film look good! I would rather get my toenails plucked one by one than have to endure this film again.
Avoid this one like the plague.
Side Note:
As said above, we recommend you skip this film. But on the occasion that your teen actually has already seen it, you may want to dialogue about the film with them. These questions below may be a help to you.
