Can we have a You Instead write-up then? Someone surely must have gone and seen it! Anyone?

Personally, I found it extremely boring. Nothing really happens and there's barely any plot and the characters are neither likeable or interesting. An advert for music festivals. And handcuffs.

I thought it was alright. It's certainly a big T in the Park advert, though. I'll write-up a review tomorrow at work.

I thought some of it was kind of charming but it did seem a lot longer than it was. At least we were in the comfortable Apollo cinema but it isn't a film to live long in the memory. Not much of an endorsement but it could have been worse!

Went to the Apollo Altringham last night, about 40% full. The film was supposed to start at 7pm, at 20 past we were told they were having problems, at half past we were asked if we would like to see another film. I asked if we could have complementary tickets, these were given out to those who wanted them. Sounds like a good deal after reading the previous write-ups.

It's true. I also had the feeling that the film was much longer. Some parts were quite funny, imo. Once I got over the fact that it was constantly advertising T in the Park, I enjoyed the film.

This was actually a pretty short film, I guess that it felt long to some speaks for it missing the mark. I really like the idea behind it, but the scipt really falls short. Still, it has it's good qualities. Here's my review: http://t.co/LLWc2mO
