I am looking forward to seeing this, unluckily it's the same day as lawless, so gonna have to catch it some time later.
mixed views here for it, but I have a feeling it will be the type of film I will like!

Dire. 3/10

Whoever did the casting should be fired. 95% of the cast didn't know how to do comedy.

I saw this yesterday and enjoyed it. Myself and a lot of others in the cinema was laughing quite a bit throughout the film. I didnt expect much from the trailer and the fact its a british/australian comedy, but I was quite suprised. I would probably give this 6.5/10.

This film was godawful. Joyless, cynically calculated rubbish.

Decided to watch this over Lawless. And I actually thought it wasn't too bad. The humour ideas were quite good, the actual film overall wasn't great but not that bad either. I think the hangover concept lingered over this movie and to replicate that was too great a feat. Although the Britishness humour was what made me smile, I'd recommend this movie if you want a no brainer pick-me-up film which will put a smile on your face.

Saw this yesterday, didnt enjoy it that much tbf, some stuff was funny, a lot has been done before and was very predictable, I also couldnt relate to meeting someone on a beach and hardly knowing them and wanting to marrying them instantly, it just wasnt believable.
