I wrote this in the very first post in this thread - and these words are indeed how I feel about the film I saw last night.andrews wrote: The trailer contains some very quick witty dialogue, but I didn't find it very funny. I think I am expecting this film to be something more than a comedy
I did not find it very funny - this is not my kind of humour. And it was certainly more than a comedy - though what it was, I'm not sure. George was re-evaluating his life and trying to come to terms with why he was so unhappy and friendless. It was a voyage of discovery for him. He went fom being totally obnoxious, to rather a decent person by the end of the film.
All the cameos went completely unnoticed, even emimen, for Goodness sake. I think I was resting my eyelids at that point. However, these cameos will be more of a hit in the States, where they are well-known. A film for the American audiences, perhaps, rather than any other?
The cinema was unbearably hot last night - I'm taking one of those little fans next time.
6/10 from me.
