The code isn't working because all the tickets have been claimed.

That is the only code and I don't think Disney release more tickets as some agencies do.
well why didnt they say that, tut. instead of telling me it was an invalid promo code. i shall be speaking to mickey about this

I'm pleased to have bagged a few tickets for this one on Sunday...even more pleased as I've just discovered that the story was conceived by Ahmet Zappa.

80% full Braehead this morning. As usual Braehead's concession stand was seriously understaffed but this time with two slack jawed boys standing behind tills only redirecting to the one girl. WTF?
As for the film, a very gentle story but judging by the toilet breaks, not really one for younger (under 10) kids. I thought it was ok but not the best film for families I have seen this year so far. 6/10 for us

Nearly empty in the Maida Vale Everyman, the film was a bit rubbish though. Although, boy that cinema is great! So nice stretching out over an armchair in a cinema with a coffee. ahh..

Less than a quarter full at the Printworks. My boy (5) and his friend (7) both enjoyed it and sat still and quiet throughout.

It was turbo schmaltzy and the narrative format was really quite lazy but I didn't mind it because it's heart was in the right place. I wasn't entirely sure why the sister had to be such a dislikable character...it didn't add anything to the story for me and there seemed to be no real reason for her being such a shitty person.

5/10

Thought it was okay, nothing special but passed the time. Thought it needed a bit more 'magic' so it gets a 6/10 from me...

Completely agree about the sister. And still feel that the themes of infertility and childlessness don't sit comfortably within a Disney film.

Disliked the child / disliked the film. Type of role that Haley Joel Osment would have excelled in 10 years ago, but this kid...nope.

Only amusement to be gained from watching this film was spotting the various ways the film makers tried to plump-up the skeletal frame of jennifer garner. She really could do with a good meal or two. Nice to see david morse in a role again, pity they couldn't give him any lines.

3/10

My mum liked it & said it was "a nice film". She gives it 7/10, but I think she may be going daft in her dotage.

Saw this at a pretty empty Printworks. This is a fairly decent family film. A bit syrupy for me. Have a hanky ready if your that way inclined.
