In Norwich they weren't expecting us either as they'd had a screening yesterday. Luckily, they were able to find a spare screen and we got to see the film.

The film was quite funny but I think it could have been better. The shouty bits annoyed me a bit. The Google offices were cool - I want to work there for the free food and sleep pods!

Vaughn and Wilson make a good screen couple and managed to carry this film through with the help of the rest of the team. As others have said, if you go in with no expectations you'll enjoy it for its feel good factor.

I saw this at Pants Odeon yesterday, arrived at 5.55pm and there was already a massive queue, and it took ages to be let in, as we were asked for ID !

My friend and I really enjoyed this. Very lighthearted and one glorified advert for Google or a Summer Camp. ;)

I saw this at an 80% full Greenwich Odeon last night after realising at the very last minute that I had tickets for it. I was unusually let in 5 minutes late and then 15 minutes later had a couple waltz in hunting for their seats. They'd apparently pa*d for their première seats at the back and insisted on the people sitting in them to move of them. I wasn't aware that for these free Odeon screenings they also sold seats.

I normally like the combination of Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson, however this was an incredibly basic formulaic film with a few laughs but much less than I expected. Also Owen Wilson sadly appears to be ageing rather badly.

Really enjoyed this. Must admit I didn't have very high expectations due to how much these free screenings were being pushed but it was entertaining and I laughed out loud quite a few times (which nearly never happens). New young actors were awesome and looking out for more from them in the future. 7/10 :)

Bland and predictable but tried to make up for this with the plethora of primary colour that is Google. Indeed this was a feature length commercial - I wonder if it would have worked with a fictitious tech company? One or two laughs and the obvious happy ending, but the leads failed to keep this interesting. Owen Wilson is just sooooo wooden in his delivery. So unnatural. He seems to play himself in every movie and he's just a shit actor.

Hard to believe that this lasted 2 hours but it was a long 2 hours.

The quidditch game looked ridiculous rather than funny, but I belive that this is indeed played in the states. Do they not realise the brooms don't actually fly? It was like watching a polo match on hobby horses!

I'm sure I recognised the English bully, but not sure where from. Maybe Grange Hill from 10 years ago?

Can't exceed a 5/10 for me. Wouldn't have parted with quids for this and never want to see it again.

I had low expectations of this film but i have to say I really enjoyed it. Some amusing parts, a strong moral undertone, predictable, blah blah blah, but it was an acceptable couple of hours of my life!
