Saw this at Edinburgh wester Hailes tonight - it was packed! I was surprised as there have been so many screenings already.

What did I think? Well, it was OK but not as good as many other rom-coms I've seen.

Jason Bateman was excellent but I really felt that Jennifer Aniston was just going through the motions and was on auto-pilot and she really didn't engage me at all or make me believe in her charachter.

I also spent ages looking at her wrinkly hands after earlier posts on here, yes, I guess her hands look her age even if the rest of her doesn't!

6/10 from me and that was for Jason ans the kid!

It was also packed at Hemel Hempstead tonight. Pleasant enough film requiring no emotional investment. There was nothing memorable and in a couple of months, I know I will not be able to recall anything about it.

Saw it at Taunton last night - they had problems with the film starting (didn't get it going until 7.15 8O ). The member of staff who came into apologise said there were about 100 people outside complaining as they hadn't got seats - I think that may have been an exaggeration, but sounds like it was oversubscribed. We could see 5 empoty seats from where we were sitting.

Cheers

Saw this last night, and thought it was OK (fairly low expectations to be honest!). Although the cinema was about 80% full, there wasn't that much buzz.

Did sense there was probably a better, funnier film in there somewhere...............

They were piled high before the screening, and then afterwards they were still trying to give them away!! SimonV - you didn't miss much... unless you want to give it to your gf.
