Saw this at a reasonably full Covent Garden. It wasn't amazing, but a couple of good gags stood out (The "Facebook is shit" in-joke with the ex-Social Networker and the reference to Slumdog). Good to see legend Fred Ward with his cameo (Tremors is one of my all-time faves!). Not many people hanged around for the post-credits scene, which was actually quite funny.

Meh.

I thought this was a bit pointless and unnecessarily crude. The only genuinely funny scene was one I'd seen at Empire Big Screen and sadly the rest of the movie just did not live up to it.

I really enjoyed this, call me old fashion, but I like a story with a beginning, a middle and an ending (which turns out to be perfect too![spoiler]Especially, when I was thinking to myself, they can’t have got away with it, when the ink spluttered.[/spoiler] Fantastic!). Added bonus, was that it had a quite a lot of belly laughs too! 9/10

Great company too, with Beate, a_person, canadian_turtle, milkchocmonkey and cliveas.

I am female and I thought the film was rude, crude and offensive... I wish it HAD lasted 30 minutes or less. I am definately NOT the demographic this is aimed at and I am truly surprised that there are so many good reviews for this movie. The cinema was fairly full tho and I have to say that there was quite a bit of laughter from the young guys around us... maybe they were just laughing at my obvious discomfort at being there!

No you are not alone! I mentioned the one line about Facebook as my only laugh but the rest of the cinema found it hilarious. Different strokes and all that....

Post credit scene was certainly worth staying for-v.funny. Overall the film was a good laugh and I've seen cruder and ruder than this! 6.5/10

I was expecting this to be really bad but I actually found it quite funny in places. I do like Aziz Ansari but I'm less keen on Danny McBride so the two balanced each other out.

I kept on thinking it was going to be very dull/boring but some how it kept my attention, I think it helped that it was not too long. I did appreciate that! Nothing that will last in the memory but glad I made the effort as it was fairly fun. 6.5/10.

Can anyone tell me what the scene at the end of the credits was (hidden by a spoiler of course). I didn't stay right until the end.
