It was all so oh so predictable and familiar, but I am a sucker for rom-coms, but this isn't one of Katherine Heigl's better ones, nevertheless nice easy viewing 6.5/10

Trocadero Cineworld: There were two "minders" at the 6.30 screening yesterday. They did not take any phones but just told people to make sure their phones were switched off. I was aware of some patrolling up and down the aisles - I guess they were watching the audience to ensure no one was filming.

Harsh reviews so far!!!

I'm a big sucker for a rom com & I really enjoyed it. Yes it's predictable, but I thought it was funny & it really had me in tears! I'd give it a 7/10

Saw this last night thanks to prettyxcool and quite enjoyed it.

It had some funny bits and was very easy to watch. Only minor criticism was that there were a few too many "look at the leading man holding the cute baby" shots, a la George Clooney when he was in ER lol. 7/10

Saw this at a pretty packed covent garden.
The film was ok, parts of it were funny and other parts were heartwarming.
Thought it was a tad long, they could have cut it by 20 minutes.
Sophie was very cute though! 6/10

just as we were settling down to watch this I finally fessed up to boyf that this was indeed another rom-com, and you should've seen his face when I told him the lead was the same woman in his all time most hated film 27 dresses, oh how I laughed. Anyway not being a rom-commer myself either I didn't mind this too much, predictable yes, but there were a few laughs and a cute baby and oh swoon what an easy on the eye male lead. V packed cinema and a large queue for the second sitting on our way out. 6.5/10

Whiteleys was packed tonight which made for a good atmosphere, plenty of people laughing including me. I thought it was overlong, you could cut the predictable running to the airport storyline and make it a tight 90 mins. The leads were good together - I'm a sucker for Josh (must dig out my Tad Hamilton DVD :oops: ) However the star was Sophie, and I'm not normally a baby person.
7/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
