I was there too - bumped into a good friend of mine who I had no idea was attending the movie too! And yes, there were 3 rows of reserved seating and not one seat was taken by those 'comp winners'. Maybe they weren't informed?? :confused:

Anyway, enjoyed the film. Didn't require much attention, but was quite entertaining. Lots of familiar faces and easy to follow storyline, even though it was predictable in parts.

6.5/10 from me, 6/10 from my bf.

Saw this at York Vue on Tuesday, pleasant enough film, easy to watch with some amusing parts. Shame there wasn’t any really laugh out loud moments, you know the ones where your tummy hurts :p

Very grateful for the night out but still a 7 for me :D

I saw it at Shepherds Bush. I haven't been there for ages and forgot that they like to make you wait before you go in. Eventually about 6.20 we were allowed in. the film was worse than I expected. I was hoping that it would be as funny as SArah Marshall or The Hangover but it was pretty lame. I was laughing a few times, but mostly through embarrassment at scenes like the Yoga scene. NOt one likeable couple in the film and for me, all the cast who were supposed to be the sex symbols totally turned me off

Maybe if I was part of a couple I may have been more into it 3/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Jason Bateman is kinda hot for an older guy but i would hardly call any of the other men sex symbols, all the girls were extremely pretty so i can see why guys like them.

Hey all singing i gotta agree with you. I though it was easy to watch and generally liked. I actually though the Yoga scene was quite funny maybe just because the guy wouldn't stop 'encouraging' them. I tend to laugh at these things.

I went with the other half so maybe could nudge him a few times through the film.

I enjoyed it so I'd give it a 7. Not as funny as Hangover but I think 2 hilarious films maybe asking too much.

BTW the place i know isn't real (or is it?) but it looked ....... A Maze Ing

Nor me, Beate. But lovesitx thinks he's kinda hot for an older man so I thought I'd put in a photo for her. :D
