At least we got 2 free tickets so we can catch it when it come out

Or maybe you can catch it at another free screening and use the vouchers for something else.
There were actually a few empty seats in the first screen. I managed to find places for OH and I after they had declared it full and were directing people upstairs to the other screen.
I think they probably didn't bother filling up all the empty spaces because they had so many extra people that they had decided to open up another screen.

I got into Greenwich O2 at 6:30pm when they'd open a second screen, which was eventually about 95% full when the film started at around 6:55pm.
Worth the wait, although typically hollywood, I laughed out loud in several places and it was definitely better than expected. I certainly sympathised with the men/staff members in the film, as I've certainly fantasized about getting rid of managers in the past (or is it current?

)! Got any more advice Jamie?
8/10

akh43 were you next to me on the back row?
Hi Diane65 - Yes I was sat on the back row with my friend, I can't believe we were sat next to each other and still have not met - I really enjoyed the film too, quite packed for the Lowry.
I was sat behind the lady with the lie back seat and your friend was next to my daughter, I now know who you are so will say hi next time.

Will look out for you too, there are a few 'relaxer' seats at lowry, I picked one on a previous screening, surprised they dont fix these broken seats.
Did the woman with mobile in the aisle distract you too

dont know why some people come to the pictues and then spend half the film on their phones especially with such a good film !!

Incidentally, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis played pals in "Going the Distance" as well:

They were a million times funnier in this though.

There was something impossible in the movie.
