I watched this in a 90% full Greenwich odeon, who had security at the screen door for the first time that I have experienced there. I wonder if something had happened at a prior screening?

Anyway after a long day at work, I needed a good laugh & I got one. I had a better than expected experience with this film, which although crude in places definitely made me laugh. I can't remember the TV series so had nothing to compare with.

7.5/10

Security also at Lee Valley last night - thought it strange but maybe a consistent across all screenings....

Saw this at Covent Garden Odeon yesterday evening, cinema was fully packed out. As for the film, I haven't laughed so hard in ages. The balance of the cast was just right, the gags were hilarious and even the cameo's were class. 8/10 for me, a very good comedy film.

80% full in Cardiff. Wasn't expecting much and was pleasently surprised. Really gobsmacked when OH said he enjoyed it! Yes it was chessy and the language was a bit much at times bit I found myself laughing. After a not very nice week this was really welcome.

Didn't see the original version but that didn't matter.

8/10

Is it just me or what, I beginning to think that people writing reviews on here should actually go and p*y for some films to appreciate what we are getting here.

Lots of laughs some even out loud in this.

Target audience 16-40, think some outside that bracket may not get the humour.

Saw at Metrocentre and plenty of laughs.
8/10 maybe, special mention to the people in the front row that reserved extra seats for their coats.

Eh? The amount pa*d (nor pa*d) for a film isn't equal to the quality of it. I personally enjoyed this one, but I've seen some horrid films for free and I wouldn't shun away from saying so just because I didn't p*y (on contrary I would've been glad I didn't p*y and waste my money on it!)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of a film, whether they pa*d for it or not - also there weren't that many people who didn't like this film anyway.

Not a question of p*ying or not - if there are free screenings, there is a reason.
So let's just enjoy it, and p*y for other screenings if we want to (that's another question..).
