Maybe she has an inverted nipple Steve? Lol
I quite enjoyed this! Yes there wasn't a massive plotline but being married for longer than the couple in the film and being a similar age I found it was very amusing. Megan Fox was stunning, what a gorgeous girl. 7/10 for me.

she is by far the BEST of the cast members, her extended version at the end of the movie was AWESOME, she didnt blink she didnt hesitate and most importantly she stayed on roll all the way through until her lines were done and then they all burst into laughs
OMG just as Livi92 said: Melissa's rant.. Genius!!

Saw this at Odeon Surrey Quays.

I wanted to enjoy this but it was overlong and few real laughs.The cameos stole the film.

I found this funny but overly long to the point that I even tried to check my watch at one point.
I enjoyed all the references to Lost ;)

I would have liked to have seen more of Chris O'Dowd. The mid credit scene was extremely funny. Well done to Melissa McCarthy for keeping a straight face whilst her co stars were in fits of giggles.

6/10 from me, the length of the film made me detract one point.

Oh and I much preferred the soundtrack in Warm Bodies. (Sorry Graham)

Anybody else think that Paul Rudd, Jason Segal and Chris O'Dowd look so similar to each other? thank goodness for Chris's beard and leprechaun accent to differentiate him.

This film seemed to last for about 3 weeks. It just went on and on and on....without any semblence of a story snd no real outcome. It revolved around 2 birthdays and I felt as if I had had 2 birthdays myself in the time I sat watching it.
Don't get me wrong - it did have it's funny bits - I really expected to get sight of what Paul Rudd had produced on the toilet - but no gross out bits.

Highlight for me was Melissa McCartney's wonderful speech (even more so in the "out-takes" at the end).

The kid with the huge teeth - did he really look like Tom Petty? (Who he?)

I really think this would have made a good episode of a sitcom - and 30 minutes or so would have been an ideal length.

OK - I didn't dislike it (and did enjoy siting with Yin and OH as well as Mrs McG) so I'll give it a 6/10.

Yes I agree, they all do look very similiar.. the beard was sooo helpful in making Chris stand out! They could have passed for triplets ;)

He most certainly did look like Mr Petty might have done at his age.
