Review

This film although admittedly not a masterpiece is not a 1 star film either.

This film has many redeeming features and I personally found it very enjoyable. In fact it's quite similar to Dorian Gray but loads better and nowhere near as monotonous. How a certain reviewer who although has his own other personal opinions which I really respect gave this film just 1 star out of 10 I do not know. One just has to watch the trailer to find out. Trust me it deserves much more than that mark. Overall this is a great film and for me it lived up to my expectations. Despite some minor flaws I left rather satisfied at the end certainly something 1 star films are not capable of doing.

It's after all how a film should be rather enjoyable.
