# it is exceedingly poor
1) the premise is poor
2) the concept is old and better done elsewhere (clearly they were after a 'Texas Chainsaw Mascara meets...')
3) the acting is dubious - Jennifer's acting involve shouting louder when you mean it more, showing tits when there's no dialogue.
4) the only redeeming thing was that there is a nice bit where the two brothers stop bickering for a moment and they're nice to one another... that made me feel good.
5) it's not scary
6) it's not funny
7) it's not well shot or directed
8) the end is predictable.

there's probably more but I've blocked it out.

it's not good enough to enjoy for it's merits and not bad enough to enjoy ironically -- it's average to poor which is a shame because there's a very limited pot of money for Brit films.

# yeah - my brother has too...
he gave up and went for Television instead (where he's having a lot more luck).

it's virtually fucking impossible.

I'm pretty sure my folks under right his existence, although he has a job now so he has something coming in, but for ages he just had to work hellishly hard for free and hope something came of it.

# honestly - I wouldn't bother

# I wouldn't watch it even if she was getting ploughed by
Jimmy Corkhill whilst he was bludgeoning her round the head in all honesty....

# she's a right bitch too
was a couple of years older than me at school.

half the young cast of brookie came from our school cos one of the casting agents worked as a peripetetic drama teacher there. tinhead was meant to be alright, and a few of the lads who started just before it got canned were well sound, she was the only one who thought that brookie actually meant something.


and then there's the whole "no i didn't get a boob job, they just doubled in size and became solid overnigh"
