Awful, awful, awful. I cannot stress this point enough. I was at Greenwich, got there about 6.40pm and was told to make my way up to the balcony. I quickly realised that this was a sure stinker if I was invited to the balcony 20 mins before the film is due to start! Anyway I thought I would make the most of it. The balcony still had seats left (was probably about 75% full and the lower level seemed almost empty when I looked over).

The story was ridiculous and ridiculously boring. I was losing all patience with it as soon as I saw her pull out that tape recorder. Jamie Winstone, what the hell were you doing?!? Like Valda, her simple facial expressions annoyed me. There were points where I just found it funny as it was so bad. Some people got up and left and I wish I followed as it didn't get any better for me. How dare they make such rubbish?

I think my 'torture' was further compounded by the thought that I could be watching Avengers Assemble (if they had released more tickets by putting the more worthy film in the bigger super screen and if I was lucky enough to get them). That whole situation was just cruel!

Not as bad a Sleeping Beauty but very close - I would not recommend, even for a laugh. 1.5/10 (1 for the cinema and 0.5 to distinguish it from the depths of awfulness reached by Sleeping Beauty).
