Screen 2 at The Empire must be in the running for worst in London. And why hasn't this begun yet?

Amen to that. Even worse, if you pa*d to see a film in that screen at this time it would cost you £12.95. Shocking.

Why do I have wet eyes at the end of this film? Every time! Went to Covent Garden with bevvy, saw milkchocmonkey but she didn't see us and it was a bit late in the day to go over and say hello, sorry!

9/10 this time

That's bloody ridiculous. I wouldn't p*y £2 for that. Such a piss-take.

Anyway, as for the film itself, I was really surprised. It had a lot more edge to it than I had anticipated. I really enjoyed it. It was fluff, but I didn't feel like it insulted my intelligence (I'm looking at you, Tom Cruise). It was a fun film that didn't overstay its welcome.

I must say, Catherine Zeta Jones is one mighty fine woman. Cameron Diaz wishes she could age so well. And what an ironic role for her to play. That Michael Douglas is a lucky man.

Pleasantly surprised by this one - could see what the ending was going to be but they didn't over egg it and some bits were really funny so overall a good no-brainer film o/

Not that I'd see it 4 times. ;)

I would watch it again, but not in the cinema. There were definitely a few jokes I missed because of the pacing. The laughter from the initial joke drowned out the lines of the follow-up.

I wasn't expecting a lot but the film was good. It was funny, sentimental and yes, the ending was inevitable but I was quite glad of it.

Screen 2 at The Empire, Leicester Square is a disgrace. The only decent seats are in the back where there is a bit of tiering. Imagine p*ying to see a film there....

Oh sorry beate, didn't see u at all but i was ruining late due to the silly jubilee line and luckily managed to get good-ish seats...I thought the movie was quite good, predictable but funny...it wasn't too long and was charming to watch...7.5/10
