50/50

[bonnybon]

Watched this at the Apollo Piccadilly Circus last night (great cinema by the way).

I enjoyed the film, JGL was good and Seth Rogen was his usual self. I usually like Anna Kendrick but she annoyed me this time round. With regards to the actual content of the film, I felt it lack a certain amount of depth. Yes, it was nice to see a slightly more comedic take on cancer and it was a nice change for the cancer victim to be a young man but I kind of felt like it was all a bit safe and predictable, and considering the subject matter, it was almost devoid of emotion. The best part of the whole movie was the 10/15 minutes before Adam had his surgery; from the freakout in his car to him desperately not wanting to let go of his mother, I thought that was the sort of emotion that should have been there for the whole film.

Anyway, I like I said, I enjoyed it and I did cry... although I cry at anything

Yeah i thought the same thing but my fellow viewer was crying her eyes out but i think it was more cause she had personal experience of cancer in her family.

I liked that it wasn't the same old weepy type of cancer movie, the comedy element was really funny. Yes it did lack depth but i think it was meant to. The main character was just a tad repressed and think the film portrayed that well.

8/10

saw this today, many thanks Stuartboy.

Took ages for the cameo in Edinburgh to open but altho not everyone's cup of tea was bettter than I expected.

Difficult subject to film and can imagine would be hard for many to watch. Still glad I saw it as had heard so much about it
7/10 from us

[evilzadi]

Maybe i'm wrong, but i though the mix up was for the screening on the 22nd?

I got this also, so does that mean my tickets for the 21st were meant to be for the 22nd?

[evilzadi]

I don't think it should. The code that you got your tickets from, did it also have the option of choosing a screening on the 22nd? If it did, then maybe SFF just sent an email to everyone rather than just the people who had tickets for the 22nd.

Not that I remember.
I'll call the cinema tomorrow for avoidance of doubt
