Although I wasn't expecting a great deal from this I have to admit I spent the majority of the film bored. Funny in a few places but generally it just felt too long and unbelievable. Even my other half who likes these kinds of easy watching comedys admitted she was bored through out the second half and was waiting for it to end. 4/10

I have to agree with a lot of the previous comments - I can't add much so I won't.

It dragged, was only funny a couple of times, but the little girls who played Molly was quite good.
We were told to watch out for her performance as she'd be in a lot more coming up in the pre-show talk.

4/10, can't say I was amused much!

Yes, and I no longer mind the fact that I was working and missed this and Old Dogs.

Only a short one by an Odeon employee (the manager?)....we often seem to get one in Birmingham Odeon....well whenever I have been (The Hangover and this film...) its just like a heads up "Watch out for the amazing sountrack by...." or "Watch out for the great performance by...."
