No comfort for those who didn't enjoy it, but to have such divided opinions about a film does make for interesting discussion here. For any radio listeners, there was a Judd Apatow interview on Radio 4's "Front Row" last night, which can be found on the iPlayer.

Went to see this at Didsbury last night - thought it was hilarious!! Loved all the main characters, bit of a shame there wasnt a totally happy ending for Adam Sandler, but the rest of it was great! Slightly too long though & the seats were really uncomfy! Could have shaved half an hour off I think....

really looking forward to it, hope that Seth Rogen isn't his usual self and be all annoying (yes, I don't really care for him).

But i'm counting on two great movies this week after 500 Days... yesterday

Saw this last night at the cineworld in the trocadero centre, we were made to queue up until 6.20pm and then got Id checked before they let us into the screening. I enjoyed the film, it was a bit too crude for me in parts, but it was funny. Did however think it was way too long, it could have done with being at least 45 minutes shorter! 7/10 from me.

Hope those going to see it tonight enjoy it!

What a let down...surely they could be done under the trade description act for misrepresenting a film FUNNY PEOPLE just wasnt funny....sorry I dont normally feel like a prude but the jokes were just crude and not funny at all. Spent the most uncomfortable HOT HOT HOT 2 and a half hours of my life in the cinema that need to sort its air con out or actually get some. The funniest part of the film....IRA running in the airport!

BEST PART for me.....ANDREWS bringing me a gift of chocolate covered popcorn from M&S......YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY.....thank you so much.

Best part of my evening....watching the last half hour of the sunderland match in the pub (wish we'd left early) 4-1 come on Black Cats!!

totally agree with you betty boop
lousy script - ok you laugh once or twice at the word for a male chicken but not 50
2 and half hours wasted - i could have spent watching paint dry
just waiting to see what the so called film experts say about it
