Tea & Sangria review – shoestring-budget romantic comedy that just doesn’t cut it

Tea and Sangria
Frankly, it’s terrible … Tea and Sangria

It would be nice to find something in this ramshackle relationship comedy with very cheap’n’cheerful production values. It’s an autobiographical project for former TV director Peter Domankiewicz, who is pretty much a one-man band: writer, director, producer, co-editor and star. Looking something like a harassed, English version of Gene Wilder, Domankiewicz plays David, who has dropped everything in England to live with his Spanish girlfriend in Madrid – where things go terribly wrong. There is arguably a kind of heroism in getting this shoestring feature made, but the script is, frankly, terrible – and Domankiewicz doesn’t come anywhere near cutting it as an actor.
