Really bad. I wanted to feel some empathy for the characters but really it was just 90 minutes of Sin-Dee and Alexandra calling each other "bitch" and spiteful bullying and taunting behaviour towards anyone in their paths. The only characters who had my compassion were the poor Donut Time owner (an immediate phone call to the police was warranted) and the sub-plot with the Armenian taxi driver. The other characters had a thick film of nastiness that ultimately made me not care what happened to them (especially Sin-Dee - despicable).
