Well, it is not surprising to see Deveny reduced to shopping centre reviews, and even less surprising to see that her attempted comedic dribble has fewer laughs than Schindler's List.

Almost as if you're watching Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List, but it's the brutal demonic Ben Kingsley out of Sexy Beast, and he's clubbing Amon Goeth around the chops with a baseball bat.
