CaptainBirdcat This film is the worst i've ever seen. I'm presuming anyone who grades this higher than a 2 is just a massive All Saints fan. I'm one of those weird people who usually likes bad films but this was a real chore to sit through. It's not just bad in one area either. The acting is awful. I do actually like all Saints music but i think the fact that they never tried their hands at films again indicates that they probably realised how bad they were. The story line is S***e as well. Altogether i think had another director (not The Eurythmics Dave Stewart) had tried to get this made with another set of actresses than it never would have been given the green light. On 2nd thoughts go see this film because unless you've seen it you can't comprehend how bad it is. Just make sure you've got a decent Brit flick to watch straight after, just so it doesn't put you off British films for life.

sparkle-14 Despite the pathetic protestations of the Director and production company, this film was nothing more than a 'Spice World II'. Nothing wrong with that as Spice World had an ardent audience of pre-teens/ teens and made money. But no, Honest Productions seemed to think that 'Honest' was serious art for adults. Very misguided, but apparently they persuaded their distributors of same. Had the Director curbed his ego (and obvious desperation to be seen as a serious director), cut the violence and sex so that the REAL audience for this film: teen and pre-teen fans of the All Saints had access, this film might actually have found its true audience and made some money. Yet it seems only adults went to see movie, in hopes of getting a good look at the Appleton sisters' breasts. In casting three non-actors who obviously couldn't muster up the ironic edge to give a silly story any real comic value; attaching an aging pop star who clearly can't direct; and trying to sell this as 'serious art', the team behind this pic cut their own throats. Why didn't the distributors, who ought to know better, insist that this be edited to get a 15 certificate? That's even more idiotic than the film itself.

dagmar2die4 The movie sucks but I'm a loyal fan so I give them a 10 = the one line summary tells it all. Well at least it didn't hit the big screen cause than this movie would really have a 2 or something so I'm happy with the 74 users that only voted for this movie.

joncoles This was I film I saw by accident, the film I meant to watch being sold out. As a result I had no preconceptions about it, no prejudice about the leading actresses, which in this case was probably a good thing. The acting of the three pop stars playing the three criminal sisters, Robin Hoods except that they themselves are the poor they give to, is not all that bad, and probably is scrutinized harder than usual because you know they are not really trained actors. The character of Gerry in particular is well played, despite the occasional false note in the cockney accent. They get themselves into trouble with drug dealers and local gangland bosses and drag in an innocent American who falls for Gerry after she assaults him with a life size roughly female and half nude work of art. There are comic moments to keep the film going when the action is thin on the ground, note the rich aristocratic heir who fills his time putting out a 60s subversive magazine. The portrayal of 1960s London and the contrast between those caught in their hippie revolution and those in the East End whose lives seem little changed since the 1940s feels reasonably authentic and is one of the pleasures of the film. One scene of a drug effected festival can give an edge of vertigo. The film touches on a lot of issues through its characters, rich versus poor, traditional versus modern, female equality, but does not explore any of them in any depth. While this may annoy some, I believe many would argue that this is not the point of the film. Overall, do not expect a classic or a memorable impression on your life, but if you are open minded and let yourself simply be entertained then you could well have an enjoyable time watching this.
