Notes et avis

Having seen the other lowball reviews I thought it can’t be that bad so went for it and paid to watch the movie. Words cannot describe just how bad this movie is. I was surprised when it ended, not because something had just happened but because I’d just wasted 90 minutes of my life watching a PA doing, well what a PA does, work!! If you want to watch something entertaining chose something else and save yourself time and money.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I gave it the benefit of doubt when it first started but it just never developed. This film could have been so much more, but was slow and ponderous, nothing ever happened of any real distinction throughout out the film. Very poor. I have to give it a star to post it, really would not like to.

Don't bother. Most of the film feels like the opening credits, lots of shots of a PA doing what most PAs do. It's difficult to imagine a workplace where literally everyone has no basic humanity and there's such a lack of enjoying anything, but it makes for a less believable version of something that is already very boring.
