Just messing. Yep, there were double standards, cringe worthy scences and the whole story of counting your 'loved' ones and telling people I found 'icky' - it had been a long day. I did have a few giggles but not enough to overcome my disapointment.
One wish with rom coms, can you move away from rich american family plot settings. Just a personal view.
I would give it 5/10
I was thinking that on Sunday in CSL everyone has a lovely big house with massive grounds or brilliant apartments in Manhatten. No one is ever poor unless they are pretending to be poor for some stupid plotline.
Anyway regarding Whoever she is, I'm going to look her name up and remind myself never to watch a film of hers again
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Thought the film was not as good as expected.
I think her searching for her exes lingered on and got boring.
The storyline wasnt brilliant but watchable. Would rate 6/10

(neither the monstrous boobies (hooray for boobies

I agree Celini, I think I'm becoming a grumpy old man (what do you mean 'becoming' I hear you cry!) the more the audience guffawed, the more irritable I got!
2/10 is quite generous, although thinking back I assume that must've been for Jerry Perry and his sidekick.............now he would've made a much better subject for a 'comedy'!

I hope so, as I could really do with a light-hearted film at present but only fairly heavy stuff (Drive, Warrior) has been on offer near me - both worth seeing, of course.

As my review is the only one on IMDB, I'm wondering maybe if anyone with an IMDB account who liked the review wouldn't mind clicking 'yes' it was helpful and then maybe that will help it appear on the film's front page:

One of my friends was at the Covent Garden screening, and he said that everyone was told to switch off mobile phones. Yet he saw a guy filming the audience during the movie. Hope it wasn't the case as they should ask for permission of the audience…

Oops! Tricky, most of that laughter was coming from my son and his friends I think. Liteuplee was in front of us and she said she was laughing at them laughing at one point. They loved it! Although the 3 little old ladies sat next to her reallly seemed to enjoy the film too.
I thought the film was better than expected, an ideal film for cheering you up after a hard day at work.
