Reception
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.” The Independent declared “As a directorial debut, Richard Colton really has served up a turkey”. 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.” 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”.
