Good concept, poorly executed.
Dreadfully Boring
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
