    I didn't buy this or rent it out, I wouldn't waste my money, instead I acquired it and didn't plan to watch it before I trade it in for 2 for £20 at HMV tomorrow (I'm going to get Dog Day Afternoon & Devil's Advocate in case you were wondering) As I said, I wasn't going to watch it but I decided it wouldn't do any harm to see what it was like - and what was it like I imagine you cry, because in reality I don't think anyone gives a flying flip. Well it was like a nice lollipop covered in a sugary topping that when you suck it makes you feel sick and so you take it out straight away and never see the offending item ever again, that's what it was like.
     First off I couldn't tell if Madonna was trying to do an English accent or not, sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't I turned it off before I started to care too much about it. Secondly she's not very good at acting. Thirdly it's one of the worst directed films I've ever seen.
     Oh yeah, before I forget to mention it, the basic plot is that two friends Abbie and Robert get shitfaced one night, f*@k each others brians out and Abbie ends up getting pregnant.
