The Honeymoon

CinemaSerf

I'm sorry but this is nigh on unwatchable! "Adam" (Pico Alexander) is marrying "Sarah" (Maria Bakalova) and his best man is his childhood friend "Bav" (Asim Chaudhry). To call the latter inept would be the understatement of a lifetime. The wedding doesn't go to plan and then, somewhat implausibly, he manages to convince his friend to let him accompany them on their honeymoon to Venice. What now ensues is just crass. There is no other word for it. The comedy is so unfunny as to make you want to scream at the television. Their antics in the most beautiful of Italian cites become more and more puerile; they manage to get involved with some gangsters - you really couldn't make it it up. Well, except - auteur Dean Craig did exactly that. This may have looked good on a drawing board, or on the page of a script; but the execution on screen is embarrassing to watch and had I been "Sarah", I would have dumped my useless husband in one of the canals and flown straight back home. I don't care how big your post-Christmas ironing pile is - this film is simply not an excuse to avoid it; indeed tackling it will bring you so much more joy and satisfaction than this drivel.
