I'd give it a 7 for entertainment value.

What you guys think?
Which cinema did you manage to see this in cellar_door? I was quite interested to see it but unfortunately I couldn't get tickets for a London screening. It's a shame that not many who had tickets made it out in the end.
Hi Opas

The showing I attended was Reading Showcase. It is in the middle of nowhere really so possibly explain why it was empty. Although when I checked to see if any more tickets were available for a friend it kept coming back no more tix available so I can only assume people booked and didn't turn up.

Maybe being a Sunday morning too perhaps?
Thanks for letting me know - Reading is that step too far for me! I was just wondering if a London screening had appeared as I didn't notice one.

Yes it is a shame when people don't show up. I guess Sunday mornings can be a bit hit and miss with people. Funnily enough I usually find that the Sunday screenings I attend at Picture Houses are generally well attended - especially compared to other screenings I've been to at Odeons or Cineworlds. Must be the type of films on offer - people are probably less bothered with the 'family' ones which is a shame.

was really suprised by this film.. there was a massive age range in the cinema and everyone really seemed to enjoy it.
my hubby had a lot of reservations about it but he really enjoyed it as did our 5 year old daughter who was dancing in her seat! great performances and nice to see vanessa hudgins moving away from the sickly sweet gabriella :cheer:
