Comedians without jokes or good scripts make for dull viewing. 'Tunnel of Love' is a mess from start to finish. The plot is laboured and the characters colourless. Direction is poor, sometimes sending the struggling cast on fairground rides to distract the viewer's attention from the banality of the dialogue.

There were fewer funny moments than in a single Benny Hill or Paul Hogan show, and you can't get much direr than that. As I watched with increasing boredom, I wondered why anyone had bothered to make such a tedious film. If, as the previous reviewer speculated, this was a pilot for a possible series, thank goodness the plug was pulled.

You'll have more fun snoozing or washing dishes than watching this.
