I expected and wanted to like this movie, but I just couldn't. Despite a wonderful lead performance by the subtly but profoundly sexy Oliver Stokowski as Steff (in the background on the DVD cover), this movie's story and dialog are so stupid, all the characters (including Steff) are so totally and cartoonishly unbelievable (particularly Martin's Cruella de Vil mother) and all the other actors are so bad that the movie is practically unwatchable.
If it had been a comedy, its absurdity might have worked to its advantage, but it is played with such unrelentingly earnest solemnity that it sank like a stone and dragged me down with it to its preposterously sappy end. Very, very, very disappointing.
