Ah you'll have to wait until you get home. My lips are sealed :sealed:
It is one of the most irritating songs in the world (after any single by James Blunt or Bruno Mars)

I read in David's review that JT was supposed to be 20 something... I doubt he would have known Kriss Kross if it was really the case!
I clearly see myself jumping on KK (oh dear!) and I am way past 20 something :mrgreen:

The song is from '92, so assuming his character was supposed to be around 28 he was around 9 at the time.

Haha! Please don't be. I despise most of this era's contemporary crooners (and teenage sensations).
Bring back the 80s & 90s :T

Oh that was just my impression of him. Young, high flyer etc. I might be wrong (and I have to admit, I've never heard of Kriss Kross!)

How about "Men Without Hats"? I seem to recall a 'Safety Dance' remix near the end of the flick.

(Damn I feel old right now)

Forgot to make the comparison - made by many others - with NSA. Yes, much better, in my opinion, i.e. more enjoyable.

Also, did anyone else have loads of trailers at their screening? The programme was already a bit late starting so I was somewhat peeved then to have to sit through trailer after trailer, which most previews (certainly at Crawley) don't have. I even thought one of them was for the film we were about to see, but it turned out to be for 30 Minutes Or Less. Nothing I fancied, however, and now I can't even recall what the others were.

However, we were still out before 8.30 pm so the UK running time must be shorter than on IMDB (109 mins).

No trailers that I can remember, other than the standard Sky one showing last year's movies (which I guess will be or have been shown on Sky).
