Review of Wide Open Spaces (2009) by Ruhan R — 31 Oct 2009

If only film makers could always exploit the fact that they have a decent cast, none of us would ever regret spending a few quid to rent a dvd for the evening. While there were some positives for this film .

.. the cast, the setting, to name a few, neither of these were used effectively. While I was expecting a comedy, it wasn't really what I got from it. In fact there were very few laughs. Although visually there were a few giggles, there were very few punch-lines and the full hour and twenty-something minutes was spent waiting for the killer line that would have me rolling around the floor in fits of laughter.

That didn't materialise. The one of the central aspects of the story was the building of a famine theme park. The idea sounds funny, but again, it wasn't fully exploited. Pity.
