Ilona Varis accidentally walks into an interview to write for a soap opera, gets the job, and falls in love with the star in this Cinequest feature from Finland. And while that sounds trite, it becomes engaging and often hilarious in the first half of the film. The second half, on the other hand, spirals into an unbelievable mess of forced absurdity, ridiculous revelations, cliché, and the most inexplicable homage to ‘The Graduate’ ever put to film. Forty five minutes into the movie, ‘The Prince of Soap’ had earned itself a 9/10. Forty five minutes later, its rating - yes, like soap bubbles - trickled slowly down the drain.
NO (4/10)
