Re: This is 40
FMUKers ruled in front row of Premier seats at Braehead. Yinster, moggers, stuartboy and myself .
I must admit I did find the seats too close to screen so may not sit there again as it was giving me a headache.
I have to admit to finding the film better than expected and there were a few laugh out loud moments in the first 30 mins. Many of the laughs did depend on toilet humour. Thereafter, it did drag for a while and too many different unimportant storylines arose. The triplets were very cute and I could certainly see how they would be difficult to tell apart. (Hope their real parents can!) I noticed that their real names were the same as their on screen names . . . probably makes it easier to work with them!
Not unhappy to have seen but would not have pa*d to see.
Marks 6.5/10

Re: This is 40
Same as everyone else did quite enjoy it but 40 minutes too long and I agree Megan Fox looked stunning.

Re: This is 40
This is good.

Re: This is 40
This film did nothing for me. I laughed at a couple of things but mainly because I felt I should. The best part for me was the outtake shown during the closing credits. Verdict: Instantly forgettable.

Re: This is 40
Very hot, pretty full Wimbledon. Not a terrible film but where was Alma Reville when you need her (to cut out that superfluous 40 mins and get the stories into shape). In spite of the length it felt like some of the threads just tailed off ....

Re: This is 40
I had planned to see this last night but we were running too late so wet to the pub instead.
Looks like we had more fun in pub too.

Re: This is 40
can't wait to see this one, only because Megan Fox is it, hope she's in it for more than a few mins! I am just wondering why they didn't have a big opening ie a premiere for it!
Re: This is 40
...yeah - what was the scene with the bike and car door all about? It seemed like it was meant to go somewhere...but didn't. Mind you it means we were spared another fortnight's worth of footage.jeanelle wrote:Very hot, pretty full Wimbledon.

Just incase anyone is late in joining this - the film is (too) looooooooooooooooooooooong!

Sorry, last post reminded me of "Ocean's 13 inch" joke.
He does have dreamy hurt eyes.
