Andrews, I've every sympathy. I took ages to find this link, as I didn't see the link to Funny People at first, and then took ages before 'trying' this and finding that it led to the Soloist.
However - I managed to get tickets through Sky for the first time, so that is progress!
Thanks so much for posting the link, Demerara (and Kirley - I sometimes feel like we are on the 'fastest finger' on Who wants to be a Millionnaire! Thanks for trying to get the link anyway!)

I had to google it but yes - continue as if you are booking for funny people and then there is a drop down box to choose your film! Thanks Demerara for the code!

I've decided to give up with Sky as it's so complicated and stressful and then, nearer the time, there are other, "normal" previews and at nearer locations for me (c.f. Funny People). So good luck to those who missed out on this.

Saw this on the plane earlier this week. Strong touching performances by both of the main characters. Well worth seeing. As a film based on a true life story I do feel that it skirted around many of the issues that the characters faced, and couldn't help but wonder if this film was another opportunity for Lopez to milk this relationship for his own ends - but that's just the cynic in m
7/10 from me. (Not sure how much of this was edited for the airline)

Managed to grab tickets for this one, but as others have said the Skyperks website isn't exactly the easiest to navigate. Quite looking forward to it, 7.0 on IMDb at the moment so hopefully it will be a good one - and a thanks to Demerera for making the post

Watched this a couple of nights ago. I wasn't overwhelmed. Downey Junior yet again played his usual miserable angry at the world self, trying not to care about anyone when he really does. I wasn't really convinced by Jamie Foxx's character either but it certainly took away from the fact it was him.
Probably a 5-6/10 from me :)

Just watched about 15 minutes of this. I can't get myself into this film. It's really slow moving and boring... I'm not sure if I will be able to see this through to the end.
