Murphy's talent is stretched to many proportions in this film.

This is the essence of the empty plot which is seasoned with some pointless mid-life crisis, biker rivals, and a chili festival.

Far from being a novel idea, Atwood shows a parallel universe in which fertility needs have driven the government to strictly control women.
