I saw it last night in Edinburgh and I was quite impressed with the performances! I was expecting it to be quite superficial but it was lovely and moving. I think it's great that they bring those types of issues to people's attention. I never actually thought that people could get Parkinson's disease being so young! The story was well written and quite believable.

If someone offers you a choice between seeing this movie and eating your own vomit, I'd strongly recommend eating your own vomit. Really bad jokes, AND nowhere near as much nudity as I was lead to believe ;)

I did like the "UNconvention" sequence and if I have to find one positive thing to say about the film is that it highlights the plight of those less fortunate people who suffer from long-term illness (Parkinson's or otherwise), but other than that, it's sugary drivel... 3/10.

Yes, I noticed that too! At least "Jamie" wasn't driving a Toyota Prius, like every other Hollywood character these days!

Saw this tonight at Westerhailes and surprised at how full it was. A lot of latecomers who all seemed to want to sit in our row or the one in front of us - most annoying.

The film was better than I had thought with all the comments about the nudity. A few laughs but some sombre scenes too. 6/10

I thought the film was really good. The nudity made the film more realistic.It was a really moving film

Didn't get to go but my daughters and their friends went and all (girls and boys) thoroughly enjoyed it. My 17 year old described it as 'sexy, funny and romantic'.

I saw this at the Odeon, Shaftesbury Avenue last night with my sister and we LOVED it. Funny and poignant. Anne Hathaway was excellent in this and I certainly laughed out loud a few times.
A solid 8/10 from me and I am glad to be back in the 'free films fold' after months of horrific pregnancy sickness!
