This has been in my Prime watchlist for so long I&#039;ve forgotten how it ended up there. I must confess I watched it yesterday mainly because I anticipated an interruption and wanted to watch something short that I wouldn&#039;t be particularly invested in.

Even from the thumbnail and description, I had a feeling it was going to be a bit cheap and tacky and I wasn&#039;t disappointed. The lead actor was pretty much a David-Tennant-alike but with the &quot;aren&#039;t I funny?&quot; American sitcom delivery. In fact almost everyone in this film has the same singsong sitcom delivery and rhythm, usually accompanied by quirky music to drive home an intended laugh line. The lack of &quot;names&quot; in the cast was probably more a help than a hindrance. The only person known to me was Barry Bostwick, unrecognisable here since I mostly know him for Brad Majors.

The comedy horror combo is just not my thing usually, as most end up being neither. The same is true here, though there were one or two moments that raised a chortle or two despite my resistance. I wouldn&#039;t watch it again, but with low expectations it was harmless enough. And I dare say some would love it.
