Release

Reception
[edit]Little White Lies (magazine) described it as “ridiculously silly” but “somewhere within its bewildering make-up is a meta work which applies dream logic to a rejected plot from Footballers’ Wives, while starring contestants from Celebrity Big Brother. It is both terrible and utterly fascinating.”[7] The Independent declared “As a directorial debut, Richard Colton really has served up a turkey”.[1] The Guardian argued the film might not actually exist but rather had been “precision engineered specifically to send me – and me alone – to the point of gibbering meltdown. I mean, it can’t be real. It just can’t.”[8] As the chosen film on the 4th film club episode from Quickly Kevin, Will He Score? host Josh Widdicombe described it as “the worse acted 90 minutes I have seen of anything, and I include school nativities in that”.[9]
