Safety First: the Rise of Women
Lunch Money Movies
R1 DVD
This
is without a doubt the silliest film I have watched in 2010, but since it
features lots of scantily dressed women I can overlook its many major defects.
It
purports to be a guide for young women to Occupational Health and Safety
matters in high-rise offices. It covers such areas as fire, earthquake and
anger management. While narrator Robert Axelrod’s voice soon becomes rather
grating (he sounds like Mickey Rooney on helium) we are not really listening to
him anyway. Even the subtitles use a form of English spelling that I am not
familiar with, but who cares? It’s the girls we want.
The
importance of Staying Calm is stressed. This will often require the removal of
tight or constricting clothing like jeans and brassieres. It is good to see a
section on surviving earthquakes, where there is a huge amount of shaking and
wobbling. I did, however, feel sorry for the gentleman who had a heart attack
in the section on Medical Emergencies. He was attended to by the fireman from
the Village People and perhaps dying of a stroke would have been the lesser of
two evils.
The
script is silly, the women can’t act, the FX look faked. If you don’t believe
me watch the film again, this time paying attention to the technical aspects.
You may have to watch it a few times to see what I mean. It was a hard film to
review, but someone has to do it.
