    Insomnia? - Here's the Cure! - 1918

    If you are having trouble sleeping, just pop this film in your DVD player and I guarantee you that you will be off to lalaland in less than twenty minutes. It worked for me, and Im sure it will work for you. I am not sure if it is the bad writing, bad direction, or bad production values added to the bad acting, but this formula for sleep is much better than inorganic drug use. Recommended for one time use only, however.
