ZEDD'S OPINION:
I got to admit I was disappointed on the direction it went, that direction is slow and dull. Also was disappointed it was
just an elaborate wet suit. But it's still somewhat charming and I could recommend it as a fantasy chick flick. 3 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with the bad points, this is one Russian sleeping pill and I really can't recommend it that much, I don't hate it
but I can't see anyone watching it other then women. I really can't. 1 11/2 STARS.
