The teenager wasn't too happy about being out so early on boxing but enjoyed the film in the end. A few laugh out load moments. A fun family film. Didn't realise it was going to be in 3D, we couldn't see the point in the 3D really.

I was at the aborted Swiss Cottage screening. Pretty eventful - freezing cold, firemen, alarms. Judging from the first twenty minutes I did get to see, it looked like a blessing in disguise. I can now use the free vouchers for The King's Speech instead...

I saw it today, with money used as a bargainer to the cashier to see the film, of course it was entirely empty, I went 2D, cos I'm no fool, even though I was seeing Gulliver's Travels.

And I rather enjoyed it, it's not the greatest achievement this year in any way shape or form, but it managed to never suck or even be dull and unfunny, I was smiling all the way through, laughing heartily at points, and just enjoying what was being presented. Might just be a film no one else will care about that I like a lot, like Walk Hard.

I saw this on Boxing Day morning at a very crowded MetroCentre. I was unusually late, due to a very nasty road traffic accident, and ended up sitting two rows from the front - that set my mood for the film, I can tell you. The screen was so cold that I had to actually p*y for hot drinks for myself and OH. Shocking!
So, cold and miserable, I watched the film. It was standard Jack Black fare. He seemed to be happy enough as he went from one digital effects sequence to the next. Black appears to have a set range of facial expressions, and I was distracted trying to work out which other film he'd used that particular expression in. The rest of the cast were very underused - to have Billy Connelly in this film and not use him properly was woeful. It was lame to be honest, and could have been so much better. However, this brought me to the magical number 100, which I can scarcely believe. Thanks to everyone on here for helping me achieve this. o/

I prefer Jack Black as Kung Fu Panda, so 6/10 from me. :D
