Number Two's homosexual relationship with Warlock was a clear highlight in this otherwise poorly told fable. Their progression from enemies arguing about eugenics to lovers rowing their boat in unison was truly inspiring.

However, this was undermined by his heterosexual relationship with his stalking victim who he had chemistry with more shallow than that of a hastily constructed mass grave in Hiroshima. I was very glad when she suggested they remain friends despite engaging in Scottish roleplay during love making.

Despite this hope that he may stay homosexual with Warlock, the ending did not supply this logical conclusion to Number Two's character development. Instead of being gay forever he kisses the girl from the breakfast club therefore sealing his fate as a hetero loser.

Outside of my grievances with the love life of Number Two, I have no negatives to say of the performance of Davis of forced rear entry in the sanctum of a greenhouse fame. His gormless looks of concern as our titular yank procured increasingly serious situations upon himself were very convincing.

Even though a high profile actor in Michael Gough of Ark of Infinity fame was cast in this film, his appearance does not elevate this in any redeeming way. A prolonged gag towards the end in which a never ending flood of students got in his way was dreadfully unfunny.

Overall this was hogwash.
