This film is a must see for everyone and anyone.
You have to choose the people you watch it with carefully though as a room full of mates is a no no. The film needs to be watched carefully as all movements and dialogue are important. It is a deep film that is thought provoking and humorous.

It is about a Middle aged man who is married with one daughter. Everyday he gets up goes to work, comes home eats a perfectly balanced meal whilst listening to his wife’s classical music. His sex life is non-existent and when he goes to watch his daughter cheerlead one night he sees her best friend a slim, blonde, and long legged schoolgirl.

He immediately falls for her and to his dislike every time he tries to fantasies about her he sees her covered on rose petals. To his amazement he over hears his daughter and this blonde girl discussing him, the girl he so wants thinks he is cute and shed sleep with him any day if he worked out a little.
He suddenly realizes that everything he does he doesn’t like he quits his high earning job, blackmails the management, gets a job in a burger restaurant, works out, smokes pot and generally defies all rules u imagine an adult to live by!

This is full of morals that will surly have the positive effect on u rather than a negative effect.
Does he get the girl? Why the petals? How will he die? Well watch to find out!

I think that this film is good, although it was not as advertised and certainly not what i thought it would be. I also agree that watching it with a room full of mates, especially chunka ones is not a good idea.

Hi, please don't take offense to my comment, but your op is very difficult to read with your use of words (like text messaging). Do you have a word processor program on your computer? If you do then it would be really great if you could write your op in that and then do a spell check before you post it on Ciao. It will make it so much easier for people to read and will get you a higher rating too. You can edit your ops, so if you do this please let me know and I will come back and rate it. Cheers :O)
