A Few Best Men

[McG]

I saw this in a busy Glasgow Cineworld in the company of Yinster's OH

OH enjoyed it. Thought it was funny. I can't say as I wasn't there.

We did miss you . . . but we'll make up for it next week at Lawless!

6.5/10

Watched this at Cheshire Oaks tonight.
Cinema was about 90% full.
It was alot better than i expected & judging by the laughing most people enjoyed it.
I will give it a 7.5/10

Was at Shaftesbury Avenue Cineworld too. Almost two rows of empty seats, when so many of us wanted tickets. The director came and introduced the film, and after commenting that the audience was mainly Asians (I had thought that too!), begged people to twitter and facebook about it!

Lovely to see ejwrank, david and c-t. Saw shmile and daughter come in and sit a few rows in front, so didn't get a chance to say 'hi'.

This was so OTT and absurd, that it did make me chuckle. With best men friends that are either indifferent, dim-witted or getting over an ex, mayhem did and does follow, and the silliness gets more and more far fetched and predictable. Olivia Newton-John looked really strange though. 6/10

Conflicting reports here - who was there now, the director or Kris Marshall?

[redgrant]

Both. Judging from early reviews for the watch, I may have been a bit harsh. Still it was pretty lame.

Went to this last night in Edinburgh. Quite a few laughs from audience during movie but also think I saw at least 2 people leave early. Not great cinema but did enjoy it in bits. 6/10

Caught this last night at the Vue in Westfield. Thought it was enjoyable and as many had mentioned, glad that I didn't have to p*y for it... doubt that I would actually to p*y to watch something like this. While it had its moments it certainly wasn't half as good as Bridesmaids or The Hangover. Something just didn't seem right with the characters, almost too prim and proper and nothing 'real' about them.

However I do think that comparisons to the British version of Death at a Funeral are unfair.
Death at a Funeral was hilarious and something so unique and off the wall that I didn't even bother with the US version.

Anyway, 4/10 for the Few Best Men.

We had surprise guests (director, actor, and a random guy...?) introducing the film which didn't really add anything to the evening, except for a later start time....

I expected the film to be as crude, unfunny, over the top ridiculous comedy like The Hangover 2 but for the most part it was surprisingly tame and much more enjoyable than I could've ever expected.

Particularly the first half was really tame, and when they were finally all drunk/high it did get a bit more insane (particularly the scenes with the sheep) but it was actually quite hilarious so no complaints here.

Although I did think that Olivia Newton-John has sadly gone down-hill a lot. She was overacting and fake, and that was before her character became more "lose".

Personal highlights for me were all the stunning shots of the Blue Mountains, which is one of my favourite places in the world. And they also filmed in Penrith, where I've spent many weekends as one of my best friends used to live there. ^_^

7/10


Also, thank you so much to ejwrank and David for the lovely company! :)
