Just about scraping into 'Hmmmm, okay', this is a very slight film which feels like it should have been a lot more interesting. Instead, it's played for 'light laughs' and the drama never feels too perilous.

The only really profound moment comes right at the end, which just left me wondering why there couldn't have been more depth to what came before. It's easy-going and non-offensive, which isn't a bad thing of course, but if it were any lighter it would have floated away.
