Me and my OH reached the screening at Greenwich Odeon at about 6:20pm patiently waiting for it to start.
While boredom started to kick in, I thought I'd have another bash on my phone at trying to secure tickets for Mission Impossible on Sky Rewards . Lo and behold, someone had cancelled their tickets for O2. So we rushed out of there quick time. By the sounds of some of these reviews, we were lucky we got out while we could. Missions Impossible by the way was fantastic!!!

It's futile to be brutal, that won't get you a dime, so be human all the time.

Well what can I say apart from just repeating all your comments!
I no its about his sex addiction but at the end of the film I really didnt see what the film was about or was it just not finished? did he lose his job after the PC incident? Why did he stop from going all the way with the lady from work? did he stop with all the sex after his Sister's cry for help? did he let her move back in? I have loads of unanswered questions but at the end of the day Im not that bothered because I feel there was no actual point to the film!?!
Dad you were like a father to me...

If you don't mind me asking, did you just show them the ticket on your phone?

Yeah we did... But I had my excuse ready that we'd literally just booked it. Since you can see the booking date on the sky tickets I didn't think it'd be a problem. But yeah, the sky representative was cool, he just took the reference number and that was that. But we have had problems in the past, where we've forgotten and been reprimanded like little kids.

Ah, good to know. Perhaps the Sky guys are a bit more lenient and it's just the SFF guys that are strict?
But that too would be strange as the SFF peeps hardly ever even glance at the ticket printouts.
You could hand them a ticket from a previous screening and they would still probably let you in.

This film was total rubbish, it had no story to it, total sex based film.
I cant understand why when he walked in on his sister while she was having a shower, he just stood there, i'm sure if a brother walked in, he would walk out asap not argue with her while she is standing there naked.

I accidentally did this once. and only found out when days later I wanted to grab the print-out from that day out of my diary and realised I'd given it out already...
There are no "SFF" peeps though, it's just cinema/theatre staff so it depends on the venue, but generally they do barely glance at it.

Years ago, when I first found SFF, you had a choice of a printout or ticket by text. The very first film I went to see with them (Little Children) I'd had trouble logging in to SFF (I eventually managed it and went in and changed my password) so my friend had got the ticket for me instead and forwarded me the text. I guess they stopped the text tickets as they didn't say a great deal, no code or anything, so probably easy to fake. But these days with smartphones you'd think they'd accept showing the email or 'print out' onscreen.

Sky tickets have personalised bar code numbers so the rep can take a note of that. This is why they are a more secure form of booking.
