I saw this at a packed Empire at Leicester Square today. I must say for London's premiere cinema that place leaves a lot to be desired. We had the very odd thing of subtitles from another film come up suddenly which was annoying as you couldn't help reading the subtitles which of course made no sense. They had to stop the film in order to fix it. The lady sitting next to me thought it happened because someone in the audience was illegally filming it but i saw no evidence of that or why illegal filming would/could trigger subtitles! And I also thought the sound was rubbish which really should not be the case in such a place as the Empire.

I know everyone else loved it but I really didn't like the film -- a couple of laughs but mainly I was waiting for it to finish so I could head over the Coliseum for ballet tickets. Still I'm glad lots of FMUKers enjoyed it.

Lucky I am watching this film this morning and it's not in 3D and they're not charging me for some 3d glasses!

I was at the Trocadero this morning. I must have missed the first 1-2 minutes (I got there when Kevin Spacey was telling Jason Bateman off for being 2 mins late!). Did I miss much?
I did enjoy the film, it wasn't really laugh out loud funny, but I enjoyed the performances especially from the horrible bosses. I think the film could have done with some more work on the script, as the set up was nice, but it doesn't come with a satisfying middle section. My friend was quite bored and didn't find the film interesting, at least my friend wasn't as bored as the 2 ladies that left after 10 minutes or so.
7/10

I'm SO glad I saw this already at the free preview last week-I enjoyed it so much the first time I wanted to see it again. Saw it at Wandsworth Cineworld tonight with some friends-the first half I found it hard to concentrate on the dialogue, as all we could hear was noise from what was probably the screen next door- but it sounded like a club. Then a guy (who sounded either drunk or high) in the row behind us, spent the rest of the film talking, shouting, & swearing. I couldnt wait to get out of there- I came out of the screening feeling really stressed! The manager was helpful though & apologised & gave us a free ticket each for our next visit when I made a complaint afterwards.
