Saw the trailer for this and was laughing my head off. I then went in search of other trailers for it and wished I hadn't as a lot of the funniest moments were from the trailers! Still, was a good film and I really enjoyed the acting! 7/10.

Saw it with a friend and we both laughed out loud a lot, just what one needs midweek after a hard day at work!

I liked it more than I thought I would - it was a genuinely sweet movie and the casting was spot on (in that these were fairly standard characters with a bit more depth.) Who knew Jason Statham was funny? Not sure I would see it again myself, but it was certainly a pleasant movie and I'd recommend it to others.

Personally I quite enjoyed it... went to one of the SFF previews so it was free (which helps!) and it was funny. Not as laugh out loud funny as the hype would have you believe, but it was good. Nice take on a fairly formulaic storyline!

Didn't you find the opening scene when Jude Law's character sneezed, funny?
Sadly not really! Didn't help that it'd already been spoiled in the trailers, haha.

I just thought that everything before she gets sent out into the field was a bit laboured and stilted. I'd see it again though!

I initially went to see this at Wood Green but there was a problem with screen, you could hear the sound but the screen was black for 10 mins. I decided to walk out and watch another screening. I mentioned the problem to staff and they apologised with a free film voucher.

When I finally saw the whole film I thought it was hilarious from start to finish. It's one of those rare films which I would enjoy watching over and over. 9/10

We've had that exact problem twice at Wood Green Cineworld (twice in about 3 days of each other!). It's such a crap cinema.

This fell into the "so bad it was good" category. I really did crack up at the guy from The Office/Silicon Valleys brief 5mins, and peter serafinowicz character.
