I would have given this movie five stars if it hadn't been for one major shortcoming: it is too short! :) Precious time is wasted on some goat-milk drinking cavalry fool with fake teeth that should have been spent on letting the relationship between the main characters unfold.

I admit that I have never managed to make my Sims happy without using cheat codes. They don't start with enough money ("Simoleons") to buy quality furniture, which means they don't get enough rest, entertainment, nourishment, etc. That leaves them depressed… Read more
