I also went to the screening of this at Leicester square, and i thought it showed promise at the start, but ultimately this humor really isn't for me. I dislike family guy and really prefer something like south park to this. There were a few laughs, but most lacked any real cleverness or wit (most taking aim at gay people and Jews). I'm not easily offended, and as much as i tried to laugh, i just couldn't. Mind you, Mila Kunis and Joel Mchale (from community) were impressive.

5/10

Here's my review:

I saw Mila Kunis in LA whilst driving past the premiere for this! Haven't seen the film yet.
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Wow, that's quick. Do they have mailing list? How are you notified about what's showing?

They have a newsletter but it's usually announced on twitter. But you have to be industry, which I am not.

hey could someone help answer ,

I haven't gone to a free showing in quite some time, i was wondering what the id codes on the tickets are , are they important? and will i be asked for proof of i.d when i go. Never had any problems before but have they tightened security?

Each ticket now has an ID code which can be traced back to your SFF account. Most cinema's don't ask for ID, but it does happen occasionally but a bank card is normally acceptable, occasionally there is a guest list which it can be checked against too. I guess it was done to stop people printing multiple tickets from the same account.

Sky operate a similar system.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Sky have a fancy system now where they can scan your ticket at the entrance. They did it last night at Vue Islington showing Salute.
