I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting to, and didn't find it too long at all. Could have carried on watching! I guess I'm the right age group although insanely envious at the amazing house, kids etc.

off to google Tom Petty to see a pic. :shifty:

Back from a pretty full-ish Braehead. Sat with OH, McG and Stuartboy. Moggers was two seats away.

Well this is one of the adult rom coms which I tend not to like as much as teenage rom com. There were a few lol moments but few and far in between the plodding story. Nothing really happens. And this meant to be a kinda of sequel to Knocked Up. Well you don't need to see that to see this. No mention of her sister at all. Good to see Megan Fox who is even foxier than she was in Transformers. Who has a body like that after having a baby?! This should have been 40....minutes long. With at least half of those minutes involving Megan Fox. 5/10

I agree it is far too long. It is quite funny in places, but would be better if they chopped out some of the duller parts, as it did drag in places.

Loved the smaller parts played by Lena Dunham, Chris O'Dowd, Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and Jason Segel. Very impressive cast list. However, I was disappointed by the main actress, as I found her accent incredibly annoying.

Overall a so-so film and so, a 5/10 from me!

Also, I was very surprised to see how full Surrey Quays was.. only a few empty in one of the large screens. Impressive turn-out for a cold February evening!

Saw this at a full Leeds/Bradford Odeon. My only gripe is what was wrong with Leslie Mann's left breast? There were 2 scenes where she got them out and only the right one was exposed in both. :sofa:

I tried so much to enjoy this movie as it was a really long journey for me and Livi92 to go all the way to Surrey Quays, but sadly I couldnt enjoy it as much, it was such a long movie! however I will have to admit that I did laugh at some scenes specially the ones with Melissa McCarthy from Bridesmaids :D oh dear, i SO LOVE HER
