It was Michael K Williams famous for playing Omar in The Wire, from Boardwalk Empire and numerous 5 minute 'roles' in movies.
Film was inoffensive and not all that funny apart from the fancy dress scene which did me laugh quite a few times. 5/10

I enjoyed it. It was good to just see a silly dumb Rom com with attractive people living unrealistic lives. I can't remember the last time I saw one. 6/10
I was in the Vue Picadilly, no longer the Apollo

When did that change?

Apollo Cinemas were taken over by Vue on the 25th January last year.

Well after the vampire film earlier this evening this was a welcome change of pace and mood. I, too, found it inoffensive and light whilst being entertaining and with quite a few laugh out loud moments. There were a few scenes that I felt were too censored or edited that would have been funnier if they had been more explicit or crude, such as the birthday party bathroom scene or the orange dick scene, but Beate's penis costume and the horizontal pissing had me wetting myself. I fould some of the dialogue rather hard to understand - maybe it was just the rapid pace? Anyhow, it went down a storm with the students I viewed amongst.
Light fluff.
A 7/10

Surprisingly I ended up really enjoying this, sure it was light weight material but I really liked the characters & it managed to make me laugh out loud on a number of occasions.
Overall it's a decent comedic drama that more than deserves a 7/10 from me...

Lightweight and crass, but always entertaining. It could have been better, but it had several funny moments [as well as cringeworthy bad moments]. Altogether, not as bad as I'd heard.

Finally got round to seeing this with OH using some vouchers that were due to expire.
I thought this was a good film and we both enjoyed it. It was very easy to watch. As other people have said it isn't the best film of the year and is a bit predictable but it is funny - at times - and a heartwarming story.
We weren't expecting too much but it did the job - especially after a long day in the office!
7/10 from me.

A Dude-Flick with ample toilet humour. It's one of those films you wish was funnier although I couldn't help laughing at the cocktail joke. The outtakes were the best bit.
