The film was passable. There were a few laugh out loud moments. I don't think I'd've pa*d to see it though.

Our screening had to be restarted just after 7pm because they'd started the film @ 6.30pm.

Well that was one loooong Republican advert for parenthood in wholesome America. Nauseating. None of the couples had any chemistry, nor were they given much background to work with.

There were a quartet of giggly girls in the audience plus one woman in laughing fits throughout the hour BEFORE the film started. They shut right up during the film so can't have found it that funny. There were a couple of laugh out loud moments but only maybe one per half hour.

A kind of Valentine's Day/New Year's Eve for broody people. If you have kids, you might be able to mildly relate to one or two scenes. If you don't, avoid.

5/10

I've had horrific week at work so far so was delighted to escape in time for a7pm screening of some fluffy rubbish. It was entertaining in a don't need to use your brain at all sort of way without being offensive. I did think most of the couples gelled.

Average.

Thin plot but even then it is not sweet, charming and it is barely even funny!

Yes it was cheesy american humour but some of it was funny especially if you have had kids.

The bit when she sneezed made us comment " if only it was that easy"!!! and had the ladies round us laugh. Chris Rock's little boy was the star in my opinion as he was so cute and felt so sorry for him.

One couple walked out about half way through but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

7/10 from me.

Saw this at a busy Wester Hailes tonight, despite beautiful sunshine here in Edinburgh.

Yes, it was a chick flick, thought it was funny, liked the mens group bit of a change from the usual mother & toddler group. Would have been happy to p*y for it, lots of laugh out loud moments for us.

Much better than 2 days in New York, actually enjoyed Chris Rock this time.

Cliched, very superficial, weak script, poor characterisation, and the comedic moments are few and far between. 4/10.

No wonder this film bombed in the States last weekend.
