Subjective Rating: 2/10 (Terrible, 0/4). Roy Mack films are usually just flimsy excuses for some half-assed musical numbers, with a script that was probably written by an incompetent producer on his drive over to the studio that morning. This one manages to stand out as being worse than usual. The singer they got to do the majority of the songs can't lip sync, can't act - he can barely even get his lines out - and isn't even an entertaining singer.
Objective Rating (Average): 0.4/4 (Terrible)
