**1/2

Reviewed by: Amber Wilkinson

Gail Porter may be many things but even in this briefest of brief outings it is clear that an acting career does not beckon. Fear not, however, as she meets a somewhat sticky demise within minutes leaving the more talented younger members of the cast to carry the rest of the film.

Colin McBain (Thomas Sparks) has difficulty coming to terms with the loss of mum (Porter) which results in the loss of his hair and voice.

This is a tale of triumph over adversity, however, and is enjoyable, if slight. Some of the acting is a little wooden but the sentiment is good.
