    WHAT IN THE HELL did i just watch? this was some weird kiddy pron type of film. this should not be watched not only because it was a boring weird film but the gross scenes of what seems like a young buy getting it on with a teenage female. who watches this type of trash? if you do you need the fbi on you.
