Re: Free Birds
This seems to have pretty poor reviews on here.
Did anyone see this with any children (5-8 yrs old)? I'm wondering if I invite some friends and their kids if it will increase or decrease my popularity.

Re: Free Birds
Oh dear, seems as though people went mad getting 4 tickets but didn't bother to turn up 
Our screening was only half full.
Pleasant Thanksgiving themed film for a Sunday morning out with the family.

Re: Free Birds
And our screening was full!!! Only a few seats left... We arrived at 10.20 and ended up on the front row... Extra leg room 
but bad neck...
Re free birds - it went well and seemed rather quick with popcorn .
Yes it's not a masterpiece but it had a few funny moments ( mainly in the fist half of the film and in present time) , nice bright colours, decent 3D and some nice shots/ panoramic views. One scene reminded me of Gravity (just with turkeys
)
Not bad for Sunday morning and local for us, so can't complain!
Thank you virgin for the movie and the popcorn!
Oh and we had a really nice and friendly virgin girl today. Never seen her before...

Re: Free Birds
Braehead was full and was quite surprised as after reading the reviews I was expecting a.... Wait for it.....turkey! But it was ok, not brilliant but not the worst kids film. Plenty of laughs from the wee ones and one guffaw from me at the end. George Takei oh myyy!!

Re: Free Birds
Hatfield was almost full and the free popcorn breakfast went down a treat.
As for the film, pretty average, my daughter was quite amused, son not so much, however we were surround by lots of very young children who were giggling away so maybe its for the 4-8 age range.

Re: Free Birds
It was ok, chuckled a couple of times. Thanks to Betty Botter and Diane65 for the tickets.
Heard a child say halfway through "mum, this is boring" so maybe it's not really gonna be a hit with anyone.
5/10

Re: Free Birds
6/10. Perfectly inoffensive and I'm a Woody Harrelson fan anyway. This isn't winning any prizes but has its moments. Nice to be somewhere warm for an hour and a bit.

Re: Free Birds
I made the mistake (or not) of reading the reviews from last week so I went with very low expectations. I thought it was better than I was expecting, not brilliant, but not the turkey I thought I was going to see, 5/10 from me.
Problems at Trafford Centre with the first 10 mins when it wasn't in 3D, but when they restarted the film it made you realise for a change quite a bit was actually in 3D. I laughed a few times, Trafford Centre was quite full, and for a change not oversubscribed.

Re: Free Birds
Saw this last weekend and thought it was okay, it wasn't anything special but it was still reasonably entertaining for the majority of it's running time.
Overall I think it did enough to get a 6/10 from me...
