Ok, just checked my murky photos as the lighting was very low, it was the director, that dim witted character, Graham, and Kris Marshall.

I truly did not enjoy it and do hope will soon forget it. Yeah, the sheep was funny and so where quite a few other things, but it seemed like a badly stuck together vulgar collage of different 'jokes' that did't seem to gel together. It wasn't really a film but rather a super-long sitcom. As if in unison with the movie Westfield-W L had forgotten to clean the place and it was hard work finding a couple of seats free of popcorn and plenty of other rubbish... and the film started 15min late!
Must say there seemed to be quite a few people that seemed to genuinely enjoyed it and giggled throughout!
But for me it's 2/10 with 2 points for the scenery!

You've reminded me, I must fire off some complaints to Vue and SFF o/

Film was so so, a very poor man's Hangover. Thank goodness Kris Marshall was in it, as no one else really was capable of holding down a role in a film imo. Kevin Bishop can be very funny in his sketch shows, but no way is he ready for a major film role. the Blue Mountains looked spectacular 5/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

I saw this film in Portsmouth and thought it was really good, certainly better than TED. The scenery was spectacular and it was a bit like one of the old fashioned British Farces, which being a bit older than most (i guess) on here i could relate to better. I would recommend this film and that is what i said when i filled in my ShowFilmFirst survey.

What happens when you complain, do you get complimentary tickets or just an apology? :bigeyes:

I saw this at a packed Boldon on Tuesday night, and there was a great deal of laughter coming from the audience throughout the film. Some scenes were very funny indeed, but I felt that I was watching a series of sketches, and that the film was disjointed in many places. Still, it was an easy way to pass an evening.

6/10 from me.

I saw this at Cineworld Broad Street on Tuesday. It was funny in parts, a bit silly with some of the parts with Olivia Newton John but still an ok movie. It wasn't as good as The Hangover but it still had some funny moments, and some gross out moments with the sheep lol! It didn't take itself too seriously but it could have been better, so i'll give it a 3/5.

I've not complained much but you usually get tickets from the cinema. having said that, I forgot all about it so I guess its too late now :wall:

That's great to know! I must admit I never thought of it.
