THE VERDICT

“It's very original and funny. At first I thought a few scenes were so bizarre that they might have been staged but having met all involved I now think that they were real,” says Janet. “It's a great film but I couldn't recommend it to anyone I know just in case my dad saw it,” adds Danielle.
