Lol...I thought she did a little cameo I didn't see, as there were so many people with little cameos in the film!

Thinking of Jane Lynch, which I am now ;-) I thought she was so funny in Role Models. I watched this film on TV last week and although I've seen it several times already, it still makes me laugh out loud.

Oh, last night was quite nice. I threw back my fair share of drinks and was certainly feeling loosened up come movie time. The reception room was really lovely as was the screening room- such comfortable seats! And the leg space! I need more films there, please.

I really wasn't expecting much of the film itself. I wasn't disappointed to have missed it the first time around and wouldn't have made an effort to see it otherwise. However, I'm really glad I caught it. It manages to achieve a perfect tone where it doesn't take itself too seriously but manages to be pretty realistically grounded. I fear something silly and lowbrow, but it was just lowbrow, in a very funny and often clever way. Kristen Wiig was fantastic in it. I love her delivery and all the various cameos were played brilliantly. I felt a bit daft for not figuring out who the guy "on the inside" was, but I blame the drinks on that. This is a really fun, vulgar flick and I had a great time watching it in style. 8.5/10

I was a bit peeved that the promised goodie bags were nowhere to be found. Why advertise that if you're not going to deliver?

I didn't see the host/event organiser anywhere after the film, shame as I would have liked to have passed on my thanks for what was a really enjoyable evening.

Someone told bevvy that as it was different competitions, not everyone was apparently getting something, so as not to provoke jealousy, they were going to post the goodies to those who qualify.

You can always email them -- I do that sometimes for special showings and they always answer back and say how glad they were to have someone thank them.
