Re: Sunshine On Leith
Not a Happy Bunny. Was not allowed in to Glasgow Cineworld this morning. Very unhelpful Staff said Showfilmfirst had oversubscribed and screening was full. They also stated the film started at 10.30 even though it said 11.00am on my ticket. When same thing happened at the Braehead Odeon we were given free Passes but the Cineworld staff were having none of it saying they would lose money.

Re: Sunshine On Leith
They started the film at 10:30 but stopped it at 10:45 John Thompson. We got there at 10:20 and the screen was empty, I had just assumed it was 10:30 so thought we were running late. There did seem to be a big rush of people just after they stopped the film but it was quite a small screen I thought for a family film on a sunday.

Music was fun - but the story was just far too simple and didnt engage me as much as I was expecting it to 6/10

Re: Sunshine On Leith
It was cheesy and buoyant on the one hand but the plot also leaves something to be desired. The songs don't always work in each scenario and the story seems contrived and full of plot devices to separate the couples only to bring everyone together at the end. I didn't quite get swept along in the feel-good vibe that it aims for but there are worse ways to spend a Sunday morning. 7/10.

Re: Sunshine On Leith
One of the most godawful films that I have ever seen. Derivative, lowest common denominator trash. It was as if they had sat down with a formula and stuck to it come what may with the expectation that this will guarantee some kind of success for it at the box office. It upsets me that Jane Horrocks' career has come to this. How do you go from working with Mike Leigh to this? 100 minutes lost from my life that I can never get back. Ugh.

Re: Sunshine On Leith
I really enjoyed this feel good film. Yes I know a bit cheesy with the singing but I like cheesy
9/10
I took a friend and her 2 boys who loved it. I got quite choked up as they got me a card thanking me for the tickets. It made my realise how I have become quite blase about getting these tickets and what I take for granted as just popping to the cinema when it is actually a lovely morning out.

Re: Sunshine On Leith
Great, heart warming fun. I had a smile on my face and something in my eye for most of the film.
Always great to see Peter Mullan and Jane Horrocks, they were great as we're the rest of the cast, but the show was stolen by 'Wee' John Spence.
I didn't know what to expect, but er thought it may be a bit small and low budget, but it was nothing of the sort - the film looked fabulous and Edinbrugh looked fantastic.
8/10
* My score may increase if I see it again without an obnoxious family a few rows away from me, talking and rustling sweets and walking in and out of the cinema for the whole movie.
