Well I should certainly hope not. Nice ad, but no wow factor.

No. Sorry.

I came to the end and the little "Would you like to watch again?" button came up and I couldn't bring myself to push it. It's not bad. It's just not great.

If this is being mooted for the Grand Prix, the industry is in a parlous state.

Mmmm it's very tasty though. I'd give my right arm and left leg to have it on my reel. Maybe not a best in show but still, very very cool.

Good but not great. Bob, whoever he is, needs to get out more. Or at least browse YouTube a bit more.

The execution is a thing of wonder and beauty. Unfortunately the proposition: For luminous skin sensation is just plain stupid.

It's soap.

A variation of 'If you've got nothing to say - sing it'; if you've got nothing to say CGI it.
