Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's a measure of how inept this comedy is that the "bloopers" over the end credits look little different from the scenes supposedly shot in earnest.
The film stars rock band Status Quo's frontmen Rossi and Parfitt... as themselves. They're rampaging round Fiji, being chased by an American baddie (Jon Lovitz), whose Russian roulette gambling ring they've inadvertently infiltrated. Director Stuart St Paul (best known as a stunt co-ordinator) gives the film all the production value of a glorified wedding video. In its own utterly inane way, this makes cheery enough viewing. Whenever the plot stalls, another blast of Quo music just about gets it started again.
