Likewise.

Came straight from from work to Fountain Park, so I didn't receive the email. I wasn't looking forward to seeing Liberal Arts that much, so I was very happy to get to see Savages instead!

4/10

I got cancelled email so hopefully will get to see it or something else. Imagine my shock horror at 4.45 to get tickets for I had a Dream with SUBO instead. You have never seen me move so fast to get anywhere. tried to get tickets for Stuartboy but only two and did not have contact details for him so could not even ask you to be my plus one. :( . Had arranged to see Liberal Arts with chum so took her instead...............and SUBO was there :D :D

Great evening!!

Probably a good movie for a Monday night; nothing too heavy. A little light comedy and considering the advertised plot line not predictable. It was, in the words of my other half "a road movie, without a road" (from the same person who asked, when taking her seat at the 02 on Friday to see Jesus Christ Superstar, "What is this about?"). But I see her point, it is about three characters at different stages of life coping (or not) with growing up. I thought Allison Janney was in her usual film stealing mode. It is about time someone gave her a lead role.

Saw the film at the West India Quays. Why do they get us to wait in the bar, before telling us (5 minutes before the advertised time) which screen the film is playing at? Don't you just get annoyed of the staff walking up and down the aisle checking we are not a bunch of Pirates (come on it wasn't the last blockbuster movie)? And, why does this cinema use such strong cleaning fluids (i believe that was what the smell was), it made quite uncomfortable in there for the first 20 minutes (two weeks in a row).

But still had a good evening viewing. :P

Must be a managerial decision, it started some months ago. I always totally ignore the "wait in the bar" bit and go straight to screen 1 where it usually is. If it's not they normally tell you.

Liked it, not loved it. I mean it was cute, funny (but not hilarious, which was probably my problem as it was 'light jokes' that could have gone a little bit further without being gross or stupid or whatever).
It's one of these films that give you the feeling that the director or writer could have made better and more logical choices in their writing... That said, it was a good evening.
7/10 (I'm nice, I know)
[spoiler]Plus Zac Efron probably had the role of his life in this film[/spoiler]
