"Can we rate this with a minus number?"
Mrs W is not a mean-spirited woman but she clearly did not enjoy the 'comedy' Me, Myself and Di. Indeed, it fell as flat as a Dutch pavement.
She even followed up her first inquiry by asking: "Do the actors actually think this is funny?"
I presume so because I heard a YouTube interview with the film's star, Katy Clayton, who reckoned it was the feel-good antidote to months of lockdown.
Sadly, we watched it stony-faced.
Chris Green's movie attempts to make a Bridget Jones figure out of Clayton's character, Janet Brown, a lovelorn supermarket worker.
Her cousin, Di (Lucy Pinder), cajoles her into using a raffle prize of a trip to a holiday camp in Rhyl and re-imagine herself as Jeanette De Brun.
The problem for brassy Di is that Janet unexpectedly and, in her eyes, inexplicably, steals her light.
Well, she falls in love at first sight with a geek (Tyger Drew-Honey) with a stammer and Harry Potter glasses.
I'm afraid the script relies on Hi Di Hi cliches surrounding the personalities in holiday camps and unlikeable main characters.
And, unfortunately, neither Clayton, Drew-Honey or Pinder have the comic ability to pull the film out of the fire.
Put simply, it was a waste of 93 minutes.

Did you know? Butlin's first holiday camp opened at Skegness in 1936, followed by Clacton, two years later. Plans to open a third in Filey were cut short by the outbreak of World War II. 

The final word.  Katy Clayton: "People can expect a really fun, feel-good film - something really light-hearted after what has been a pretty difficult couple of years." The UpComing
