I posted in the car-park after I came out, before driving. Total time was probably 103 mins as stated.
Thanks MG!
Damn, was hoping it had started at 11am as it had here so was a bit shorter... OH will be racing across town after the movie!

So glad I made it to see this yesterday. I would have no way of getting to Wimbledon today with the snow
I really enjoyed it. Reminded me of being little girl again. I brought my little nieces and nephews. They told me before they didn't like the muppets. (I've made them watch the series) but have converted them. The little one who is fours was loving it until he got a little bored half way through[spoiler]( when they were practicing show and looking for celebrity)[/spoiler]but then enjoyed ending
Very cheesy but loved it.
9/10.

Ooo and we all loved the toy story short before

Valda, I couldn't go yesterday as some work came up

so I told weirdy to take his friends on tix.
BUT a kind fmuker gave me tickets for today show :) So looking forward to it. My number 1 anticipated film of the year!
Last night, I watched the Jonathan Ross show where he had Kermit and Miss Piggy as guests (I know its a week old now) . I always loved seeing them interviewed, they are so funny but Jonathon made it all awkward with his continuous barrage of innuendoes and pork scratching jokes but more disappointingly Kermit and Miss Piggy succumbed to the innuendos without even much encouragement from Jonathan! I think its Miss Piggy that lead the way. Still, even when they are not at their best, they are still a great laugh. But I still do miss the sharper wit and rapport of Frank Oz and Jim Henson voices.

Can't wait till I see muppets today. What time do people reccommend getting to the cinema. would 45mins before hand be ok?
