A cheap bauble of a flick.

rotten:
The film has a desperate, disjointed feel that suggests the filmmakers realized it wasn't working and kept trying, ineffectually, to fix it.

rotten:
The entire film seems a series of disjointed pieces, a screenful of iron filings waiting in vain for the magnet that will line them up in a unified field.

Shyer's film denies us the double dip of vice and virtue. It's moralistic.
