Re: We b*ght a Zoo
Oddly enough I am still under the spell of We b*ght a Zoo this morning and was Googling Benjamin Mee; he actually writes for the Guardian, and you can see few interesting articles here http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/benjamin-mee
(I will be seeing Michael this morning, so I will inevitably fall down my cloud and be in a rather dark mood by lunchtime

Re: We b*ght a Zoo
I was pleasantly surprised by this film 
I'd half expected to have to walk out due to the noise level but the children all seemed to be drawn into the film.
It was just the right length and pace to keep our interest.
The acting was quite good, especially Rosie. (An Oscar nominee of the future?)
Something the family can watch together because it isn't too twee.
8/10

I agree with Diane, we went to the wrong cinemaDiane65 wrote:No YOU did (even after a text to remind you) so there ner ner ner!!steve wrote:OH and myself enjoyed this, should have met up with some lovely ladies (Diane, Ak and co) only THEY went to the wrong picturehouse. LolCheek of him!!
we were are the right cinema think you went to the wrong one, good job you had tickets for that one as well 
I really enjoyed this film and loved all the animals and the little girl Rosie was so cute.
Few noisy young children in our screening, but not too bad, dont think I would take children that young to this type of film though as I dont think they would get anything out of it and its quite long to hold their attention.
Just saw a short trailer on Sky with regard to the real Broadmoor Zoo and Benjamin Mee that they showed in a gap between two shows. It was interesting to see what it was based on and that the Scarlet Johannen character was actually a middle aged man!! typical of americans.

Ah, is that why, as the last time I went to a Nat West screening, they asked for my (ie OH's card) too.ejwrank wrote:... They did ask your aunt for her card as her ticket was in your OH's (male) name but they went through without any trouble...
My mum told OH that she hadn't spent too much on his card :).
