This turned out to be more enjoyable than I'd expected so I was pleasantly surprised. It certainly wasn't 'laugh a minute', but there was enough to entertain and hold my interest for its duration. Despite the fact it was a massive advert for Google, the film was sweet, likeable and worthy of a watch. 7/10 from me.

Just what I needed to cheer me up. Easy watching and funny although totally predictable and a massive advert for Google 7/10

I found it quite dull and predictable. Not far from what I expected though.

Incidentally, for the first time I was told that going forward named ticket holders only (they will ask for ID) will be allowed in due to the number of fake ticketers. Did anyone else experience this?
I didn't see this at Trocadero (Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue) but in my experience they have been one of the strictest cinemas around matching tickets to ID for a number of years. You have been lucky if you have never been asked there (or maybe I'm v.unlucky!).

They always seem to check, I think you definitely take a risk going there with tickets not in your name (not sure if Show Film First still do that whole 'change of name' thing but maybe the cinema won't even accept that going forward?).

How strange, I've never been asked there! Wouldn't have mattered though, its always been in my name at Shaftesbury.

Well, somewhat predictably, I HATED this. Making the film about an actual real-life multinational corporation and portraying it as a perfect, heavenly utopia is repellent and frankly, kind of insane. Are movies like this what people want to p*y to see? Full-length advertisements for multinationals populated with famous actors, run right through with wanky, self-congratulatory propaganda?

We saw this last week and were both unimpressed. Mindless and forgettable.

I enjoyed it, but it was one giant advert for Google. Then I felt dirty for enjoying propaganda.

I didn't have much expectations built up for this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it and would recommend it.
