Disgusting waste of public money
This is a pathetic excuse for a film. It's a disgusting waste of public money and proves what I've suspected for a long time - that the UK Film Council only approves money for their showbiz mates.
How on earth this script could have been given the go ahead God only knows. I read a newspaper response from the Film Council that justified itself by saying that the UK is made up of lots of people and they're there to make films for everyone. Really? Who is it that you think you made this for? Lobotomised idiots?
What's the record of Film Council spending? If their spending is for everyone, why are there not more films like this? Is this the Film Council's view of what the working classes like? Too many unanswered questions.
SIDEBAR: The truth is the Film Council thinks itself untouchable and does what the blood hell it likes, including spending British taxpayer's money on French and German films and, can you believe it, The Station Agent! A great film yes. But distributed by Miramax! Like they deserve public money?! This is more about the toffs at the Film Council furthering their own careers by buying favour with big American studios.
I'm not a prude and I'm happy to laugh at toilet humour when it's funny. This film is just a bad film. It's unfunny and relies on crudity which I just found plain boring.
It is possible to make a crude entertaining film but this isn't it. Unfortunately all those responsible for this pile of crap couldn't care less. They're too busy quaffing Champagne at the expense of hard-working tax payers.
The End.
