Young Adult

[alythonian]

I had high hopes and was really disappointed.
Very bland and mediocre. There was so much they could have done with that story and it was all just bland. Quite a bit of it they appeared to have nicked from eagle v Shark minus the jokes!

5/10 from me

This was pants. Boring, uninteresting, dull script, unlikeable lead character and no comedy (despite being listed as a comedy on imdb). I yawned throughout and if I had been watching this on TV, I would have changed the channel. 4/10.

Meh (as elski says).
Not good at all. Slow, plodding and dull, where hardly anything actually happens and humour is minimal, perhaps even restricted to chicken fillets!
Definitely one to help hone your masseter (cheek) muscles as you'll do plenty yawning!

Could this be the third clunker of the year?

ID being checked at Trocadero!

after running almost all the way from work, I arrived at said trocadero at 6.28pm, the idiot downstairs let me go upstairs (and another 3 elevators run!) and I am finally told, sorry the screening is full!!!
I was not happy and pretty sweaty! Yikes!

The good thing is apparently I did not miss much and I went shopping instead
(twas an expensive non-screening of Young Adult!)

I'm really shocked by these reviews and sorry for those who were underwhelmed. I was looking forward to seeing this today but my meeting ran so late that I couldn't make it. I do have another chance tomorrow but am not sure now that I want to risk it!

Did they not offer you another film? or was it odeon I suppose? Cineworld is the only ones here to be straight to offering another film or voucher even if I do arrive at 6:28pm.

I've now discovered the time they start running the trailers, a new habit for Odeon for Sky and Times screenings. They start them at 6:20pm. Ashamed to say the trailer for Jack & Jill raised more of a laugh than the whole of Young Adult and This Means War looked even funnier.

it was Cineworld, I have seen everything on screen already and could not be bothered sticking around and arguing... Shaftestbury Avenue is quite useless when it comes to complaining anyway
(I twitted TotalFilm though)

Aww. That's not fair - you got trailers. Lol. Usually I can't bear sitting through trailers, but I'd make an exception with this.

If you have time on your hands and you're close to the cinema then perhaps it would be worth while. however to me this film reminded me of a daytime TV movie....say no more!

yeah trailers have started to become a regular thing at Odeon, if they stick to them I will bother to get there earlier as it's always so boring if I get there just after six. It makes sense really we're all sat there waiting for 6:30pm they may as well show us some other films they'll be showing.
