Excellent soundtrack and, as others have said on this forum, the story is something that most people can relate to and the fact that it's not a "rom com" alike means that the story progresses as you would expect in real life not as it would it a McConoughy/Hudson vehicle (I really dislike the tags that are getting associated with this movie, it's not a rom com and it's not an indie, just accept it for what it is!)
For me this has been the best film I've seen yet in the cinema this year (although I have yet to see Hurt Locker or District 9): 8/10.
I would say the same the film was great!

I didn't know they were that heavy on security!
I suppose it helps with the piracy.

According to TotalFilm, this is apparently their next screening! Surely that can't be correct - the film hits the cinema this Wednesday! I hope it is incorrect!!!

But totalfilm's code come out every Friday and there wasn't a code for this last Friday for it. So when the next code does come out, the film will have already been released!

I know, someone was complaining of this on the Total Film website Forum. I don't know if their query was ever answered.
I was given a hard copy of the mag (October issue) at Frightfest the other day and it definitely says the 1st Sept at 6 for 6.30
and lists the Cineworlds that it is on at.

Yes, but there is not code in the mag, despited devoting a whole page to it - it just says to sign up for the newsletter to get the code!!!
As far as I can tell, no-one has a code for these screenings that are due to take place tomorrow.

Big thumbs-up here. :) I had really low expectations, so the surprise of a quality film was part of my enjoyment, I suspect. The script was very well written, I thought. The line from the female lead at the climax of the film was...splendid. Heartbreaking and sweet at the same time. And when his mate is describing his wife/partner...his line brought a huge smile to my face.
