Review: I haven't had the chance to watch this video yet, but the information provided on amazon is sparse, so I'll contribute what I know about it.

Here's the description I found on flyingnun.co.nz
I'll Make You Happy is a comedy about Siggy, a teenage bad girl who lives and works in Auckland's red light district. Her best friends are hookers who dream of getting off the streets and a flatmate who longs of for Tibet. Siggy discovers her pimp is aiming to raise a large amount of money through a drug deal. Seizing the moment, she decides to hijack his money-making scheme so that she and her friends can achieve their dreams.

I'll Make You Happy brings together some of New Zealand's finest acting talent, including Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors), Jennifer Ward-Lealand (Desperate Remedies) Ian Hughes (Topless Women Talk About Their Lives), Michael Hurst, Lucy Lawless, Raybon Kan and Jodie Rimmer as Siggy.

I've heard that the movie is quite good, and that many of the actors and actresses volunteered their time because they had worked with the director in the past and felt passionate about the project being made.

Summary: fun to watch, don't let my rating fool you
Review: If you are watching this for Lucy Lawless, know this: her cameo is less than a minute. HOWEVER, I love this movie. The lead character is cute and loveable. Diehard fans of Hercules and Xena will recognize quite a few folks from both shows, and seeing Micheal Hurst as something other than a sidekick is nice. Also, no one uses any fake north american accents! YAY!

Neither the video nor the audio quality is great on this, but I just love the story. If you are totally into XWP or HLJ, then go ahead and splurge. Those who want to see Lucy in something other than a leather warrior outfit might just want to borrow from a friend.
