Well that's what I might have said if I had got to see it! When I got there (no one downstairs to check printouts) the OH was already sat in the cinema so I went to the loo and b*ght an overpriced hotdog, and when I came back there were loads of people outside and a manager telling everybody that the film was not here and there wouldn't be another screening but we could all see any other film for free so would we please follow him downstairs to the tills. The only problem was that I couldn't find the OH until an usherette located him still sitting inside, faithfully waiting for me, LOL! So we joined the big queue and debated what to see. "No, seen that... no, seen that.... no, seen that.... what about Harry Potter, oh that's only on at 8.30, hey let's see G-Force at 7pm! Oh hang on, there is the Time Traveller's Wife but it started at 6!" By this time it was 6.20pm but the guy at the till said it had only just started that minute so we rushed upstairs again, fell over a few people's feet in the dark and had only just missed the car crash at the beginning. Review to follow in the appropriate thread!

So does that mean I have to use some of my cinema vouchers to see Aventureland?
I am in WIQ too and feeling so fortunate !!! Have the same story as Beate and Time Traveller's Wife is wonderful!!

Yep something happened to me Beate. I was at WIQ, but I got there at 6.30pm so there wasn't much of a queue. Likewise, there wasn't much choice, seen The Proposal, seen Pelham 123. I think most of the SFF crowd went to see the 6.20 showing of GI Joe as that was full. In the end, I went to see The Ugly Truth, as I missed they free preview screenings due to work before. At least I thought the Adventureland trailer looked interesting, it was much better than the trailer for Away We Go...

Oh no. I was supposed to go to WIQ too, but got stuck in a meeting that lasted much longer than I had anticipated. :noo:

Saw this tonight at Cineworld Nottingham – there were a few funny moments but thought it was a pretty pointless and slow film. 2 peeps walked out about half an hour into it; at least I stuck it out to the end. So glad I didn’t part with the hard earned cash for this one.

Ah you could have gone to the 20.30 screening of Harry Potter perhaps!

I got there 6:30 sharp so didn't want to see Time Traveller's that had already started 1/2 hour before. So went to see Adam, what a sweet surprise! o/

Did no one go and see G-Force at 7? That would have been our second choice.

I just got the SFF feedback form through. I enjoyed filling it in!

Saw this in Edinburgh last night.

Only 50% full which surprised me as I couldn't get a ticket about 10 mins after the code came out and i subscribe to total Film. i only got tickets as a SFF Ambassador.

I quite liked this and really enjoyed the soundtrack. 6.5/10.
