This is a curiously mis-firing drama that takes a pop at just about everyone from working class to nouveau/faux-riche with some shockingly poor acting and some even worse attempts at humour. We start with a pair of lifelong friends "Janet" (Katy Clayton) and "Di" (Lucy Pinder). The latter is a much more confident and outgoing woman who has a decent and reliable boyfriend. When they win a trip to an holiday camp in Rhyl, they set off with "Di" determined that her friend is going to come out of her shell and meet her "Mr. Right". Well there she plans better than she could ever have known as it happens the posh, bow-tie clad and bespectacled "Jon" (Tyger Drew-Honey) is there with his sister and disapproving mother. It soon transpires that neither are quite what they seem and their ensuing friendship puts strains on other relationships causing envy, loneliness and confusion before a trip round all of Bolton's mini-markets. The whole thing is almost too embarrassing to watch. The stereotyping is just plain dull and the film comes across as if written by a would be stand-up comic with delusions of competence who wants to flail wildly at all of the characters and hope that something sticks. Nobody's finest work - sorry. This is just poor.Show less
