It never lives up to the promise, due to a lack of directorial focus that lets everything slip out of control. But it's pretty good fun while it lasts.

Shadows on the Wall

Bloom gives a performance that's as bland as a pint of semi-skimmed.

a funny "mockumentary" that keeps you chuckling all the way through; that is, if you don't take it too seriously!

Pretty decent little flick here....it's a mockumentary that follows a milk man/amateur boxer that got thrown into a heavyweight fight. The movie was actually quite funny and actually pretty good. Orlando Bloom was alright in it...I could tolerate him anyways. A movie many should check out and give a chance.
