Saw this at a nearly full Showcase Glasgow.The lucky ones were the ones that didn't turn up.

Robert De Niro should be ashamed.

2/10

Possibly the last person here to have seen this.

Perfectly reasonable farce, which if it had been in french, or even possibly spanish, would have garnered much more praise than it has.

A pleasant way to spend the evening with a fair few laughs & chuckles.

bonus point for the adorable pugs (i'm on the verge of b*ying one)

7/10

I am glad I went to see it. (ignored a brief perusal of mixed reviews, mostly thumbs-down)

I liked it as was so funny, I liked the combination of stupidity. [spoiler](Spanish speaking, pug dogs, infidelity, the ex n current banter/bitchy, brother trying to get his end away)[/spoiler]



I like funny films where older people get up-to-mischief i.e. Quartet, Marigold Hotel.

Might have been mildly amusing on TV, but hardly worth a trek to see it in a cinema let alone parting with hard earned cash to p*y for the tickets.

I didn't hate it. I didn't laugh as much as I felt I should but I didn't hate it. Felt Katherine Heigl was better than normal and De Niro and Sarandon were lovely. Found the Topher Grace subplot pretty hilarious and agree that Williams didn't overact for once. Overall I'll say I enjoyed it, but wouldn't for a second put it anywhere close to film of the year.

Having read all of the previous comments, OH and I went this morning to see this in Braehead expecting very little and a bit hesitant about seeing it. Very surprisingly we both thought it was great, very funny and perfect Sunday morning viewing.
As others have previously said, just as well we all like different things!
8/10.

I went to see this last night at the Virgin screening in Braehead cinema was about 80% full , i liked it , i wasn't dire a few funny bits but mostly the thing's that i got the impression were meant to make us laugh missed the spot, would i p*y to see it ? No .... okay for a freebie and very light hearted which was what i needed, a rather unimpressive 6/10 from me xoxox
