OK, we are pretty near the end of the year and I'm tantalisingly close to hitting my 100 free films target. o/

But,,,,,,I've seen most of the films showing at the moment, that my free Cineworld tickets are valid for, and I'm really struggling to pick out any that I want to see. So taste is very much on the backburner.

So, fellow FMUKers, in my attempt to inch nearer to the 100 free films before the weather closes in again and I miss my target, it was either this or Animals United. Once I found out that "Animals United" was a family viewing "t*lking anim*ls" film, my mind was made up.

I'll sum the film up in two words, taken from the very film itself:

EPIC FAIL

It is not funny in the least, just embarrassingly poor. :confused:

0.5 out of 10 - my worst film of the year.
You deserve a medal for going beyond the call of duty - wild horses will not drag me to see this film, Preston!

Thanks for the warning Preston. At least you will hopefully have prevented others from making the same mistake.
I actually won tickets to the premiere of this, including a meeting with Pixie Lott. After viewing the trailer and a bit of further research I decided to turn down the 'opportunity'. It looked so bad my conscience wouldn't let me try to pass it on to anyone I know!

There should be a bloody health warning attached to this movie because I really believe if I went to see this film I would feel suicidal. I even felt it like it momentarily after watching the trailer.

Preston 1990, I know your spirit must be at an all time low after that immense suffering but don't forget we're all here for you ;)

Preston I am curious to see how bad this film is now, you might actually be selling this film to some people now believe it or not!!

I gave it 0.5 because there may be something worse in the future that I need the zero for!

Can't really see it happening to be honest, but you never know! ;) :mrgreen:
that is so funny. you brave man. i hope that your next film surprises you and is a 10 or close.

good luck.
