I was very naughty and got there late, but slipped into a single seat on its own at a packed Shepherds Bush.
Likable enough film with a nice cast and a gentle story. I got 3/4 of the way through then became obsessed with her eyebrows. One looked higher than the other

and for the rest of the film I was just looking at them
6/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Having always been a fan of Robert De Niro and his ability to adapt to any role be it a vicious psycopath to a nutter of a father in law in 'Meet the Fockers' he has continued to entertain in this role as a reluctant retiree. Thought the story line was interesting and the relationships he built up with Anne Hathaway and the other interns/workers were endearing.
Had a smile on my face the whole way through and yes the ending may have fizzled out a wee bit, but it was still one I would have been happy to p*y for.
8/10

Busy night at VUE edinburgh.
Film was much better than I was expecting from the poster and trailer. Both De Niro and Hathaway were great in their roles and some funny turns from the supporting cast. The real shock was the last 5 minutes which seemed to draw audible gasps from the audience. A film promoting empowerment suddenly encouraging passive behaviours. It was a bizzare twist and left the audience on a sour note. 7/10

I also went in with really low expectations, but actually quite enjoyed it. I thought Robert De Niro was really good, and there were some really funny moments - I particularly liked the Ocean's scene! I'm not the biggest fan of Anne Hathaway, but she didn't annoy me too much for once! Like others have said, the ending was a bit of a let down, but overall it was a pleasant way to spend the evening!

Glad you enjoyed it and glad someone enjoyed The Holiday... when I saw it the couple we were with both had vouchers and we had to p*y!!

so I wasn't in the best mood right from the start

Saw this tonight in Portsmouth, after a really frustrating day at work i needed something to cheer me up. This film did the trick, i really enjoyed it. The ending was a bit abrupt as others have said but it really didn't matter.

initially, i had low expectations. The film was full of cliches, but I did thoroughly enjoy it - bar the cringe worthy moments!

Robert de Niro couldn't put a foot wrong in this role and an excellent partner for Anne Hathaway. Funny laugh out loud moments which made it pass very quickly for what I thought would be a long two hours. 7/10

I really enjoyed this film, Hathaway and De Niro paired well together. There was a smile on my face all the way through, with an occasional chuckle.
Not sure who the husband was, he didn't do it for me at all, there could've been a lot more substance to his character, also wasn't at all convinced he had the gumption to have an affair as he was a complete wet blanket.
On the most part, the other interns were super with the exception of Adam DeVine, i experienced the same feelings of hatred that stirred whilst watching PP2.
