Cineworld Crawley seemed to have a whole batch of completely new staff, unfamiliar with the preview system and either giving the wrong info (need to exchange printout for ticket at the counter) or clueless about which screen to head for. Then it was in an auditorium not usually used for previews - all a bit disconcerting. Eventually there was a reasonable turnout and the film started on time. Unexpected entertainment was provided by seeing a succession of hopefuls making for the two unoccupied seats facing the aisle in the back row (i.e. with the unrestricted leg room), only to find that the reason they were still vacant was because they had been so extensively vandalised as to be unusable. Don't think any of the various owners of this site have carried out any repairs whatsoever since it first opened and boy, does it show.

The film itself was an amiable but undistinguished bromance (nearest category that comes to mind) and a pleasant enough way to pass 100 minutes.

Wow, Chelsea Cineworld is a total dump, how small is screen 4! I'll be avoiding that one if I can help it. And well done to the tosser near the front using their phone during a particularly moving scene! Ugh.

Anyhow, liked the film a lot, needed tissues, seeing it again next week... 9/10

Saw this at an almost packed out Edinburgh Cineworld this evening.

Thoroughly enjoyed it for the acting and their portrayal of the story, despite the slightly grim topic.

Saw you and your OH come in and sorry didn't get a chance to speak after the film.

Rather worried that the topic of this film would be too upsetting to watch but it had its moving moments and some crude but funny bits as well. Enjoyable 7/10

Sorry we missed you. It was really busy at 6.05!
See you tomorrow for Justice. Not convinced it'll be as good as 50/50.
