Tread carefully, but I don't think I'm giving anything out here that can be considered a spoiler.
It's OK. I watched it on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a nice diversion. Five stars because everyone is making an effort here. It just never quite makes it. Like morning biscuits that didn't bake long enough.
The young but inexperienced cast is clearly putting out the effort here. Do any of them have a real future beyond community theater? Probably not. But, as Jack Benny used to say, everyone needs some place to be bad. Well they are not bad. Just not professionals. At least not yet.
The real problem here isn't the cast however. Or even the premise of the story. It's the screenplay. It's screen writing 101 at community college. Some of the dialog Rin Tin Tin couldn't bark his way through. Many of the situations (ably described in other reviews) are lame and totally improbable. (An aggravation surcharge for coffee?) Still, not bad if you have nothing else to do.
