The conflict resolution may come all too easily in Fast Food Fast Women, yet the feeling this charming comedy evokes, will undoubtedly stay with you long after the lights come up.
As a screenwriter, Kolleks talents lie in his development of meaty characters.

Each of the actors is given good space to do their work by director Kollek proving that they deserve to get more good film work.
