I had trouble getting to the cinema today because the Great Yorkshire Run was on and the start/finish line was 100yards down the street from the cinema entrance. I had checked online before leaving what the race route was and thought my usual route to the cinema would be fine. I walked down to find my way blocked by loads of crowds and the street barriered off as although it was past the finish line it's where they were sending the runners that had finished to go to hand their chip in and stuff. I started trying to walk along the street, there seemed no end to the barriers so eventually I just cut through the barriers across the runners (at least they'd finished :oops: ) and through the barrier the other side. Otherwise I'd have been completely stuck. And then when I left the cinema the juniors race was about to start so luckily I managed to get across at a crossing before they closed that for the race.

The film was enjoyable enough for a Sunday morning one. 7.5/10

Watched this today in Manchester and absolutely loved it, many funny moments if you like romcoms and Doc Martin you are onto a winner. It is so like a modern day adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, I always enjoy them but they always have a dark part (I'm trying not to give away too much).
I found the teenagers a little irritating in parts and as far as I know the majority don't behave like that.
In my experience cows don't tend to be afraid of dogs as I have had a few hairy moments where they have made a bee line for me when I'm with my friends large labrador.

So sorry Valda re your rubbish morning, I had the same experience last Tuesday but didn't get offered tickets/discount and it's so annoying as you are left there in limbo not knowing what to do.

8.5/10 from me

I think you should both complain to Sky AND the Odeon. You might at least get some free cinema vouchers out of it.

Mine was at Cineworld and not sure if it was Sky, it was for The Switch, they are normally really good and offer you another film but it was just 4 teenagers on who probably didn't have the authority to do anything.
It's the 1st time in 4 years that I have come away without seeing something or getting free tickets so I can't really complain but thanks for caring :P

Watched this today in Cardiff and enjoyed it. It was a bit different to other rom coms, can't really explain why, possibly because it was English and am so used to seeing American rom coms. At first I thought the teenage girls were really annoying but they were quite funny in the end. I'm glad the story ended how it did.

Watched this today at Westerhailes. I enjoyed this as it was a lot better than I thought it would be. The two teenage girls were very good. Some laughs in it and some sad scenes.
Well worth watching. 8 out of 10
