what's your favourite quote?
mine: [spoiler]- I was drag racing!
- In a Prius???
- I don't win a lot![/spoiler]

There is definitely some phrases that I did not catch though, I would need to watch it again with subtitles to get the full thing!
I thought the cast (even supporting actors) was great!

Edit: did you see that the usher brought 2 extra seats for people sitting originally on the floor?!

Absolutely brilliant. Really funny, some great cameos and a refreshingly brief running time.

In fact I can't think how it could have been better, so it's 10/10!

Shepherds Bush pretty near full, luckily Jeancomp saved me a couple of seats. NOt only did I forget my ticket and had to go home, my friend got held up getting there.

I really enjoyed this, especially when the audience got warmed up and started laughing more. Farrell and Anniston mad me laugh so much because they were playing against type. Spacey's always good, and as for the three leads, I didn't have a clue who they were, but they gelled well and really made me LOL at the sillyness of it. Farrell couldn't look any more different in this film, to his role in Fright Night. A touch of the Len Grossmans going in there 9/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

An enteraining comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. It doesn't have the hilarity of Bridesmaids but still has plenty of humour to keep me chuckling all the way through. Kevin Spacey was deliciously narcissistic and Aniston was quite believable as a nymphomaniac. Farrell was a bit underused though. The trio of leads interacted well together and their banter produced some of the best lines of the film. There were some great cameos and Jamie Foxx was brilliant - he has been credited as playing Dean 'MF' Jones. :giggle:

Not as clever or funny as Bridesmaids but still enjoyable. The bloopers over the credits were an added bonus. 7/10.

Watford was pretty near packed - barely an empty seat in the screen!

As tilly said, Croydon was packed, but it was a stupidly small auditorium to pick for this film. Really inconsiderate latecomers near me, not only clambering back and forth in the dark but playing with mobiles, taking calls, and then going in and out several times, presumably to collect more latecomers - oh yes, and then playing musical chairs with their seats! So it was hard to concentrate at first but once the film got going, I really enjoyed it. Think it must have been cut for the UK release, however, as we were out just after 8 pm yet IMDB had given the running time at 100 mins.
