A horribly failed satire that should be avoided by all.

They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.

It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.

Bad, amateur, poor and silly.

Not a great example of Halle Berry's talent.

The story offers nothing original.

Formulaic and distastefully fake, Townsend's modern fairy tale unsuccessfuly tries to combine the premise of Pretty Woman with the formats of the fish-out-of-water and culture-collision.

A string of hugely unfunny shenanigans ensue.
