Apologies Beate, yes it was the Sh*tsbury Ave one. Early morning confusion :) Guessing from your comment that they often mess people around at the central london one.

I was there as well. The theatre was absolutely tiny and they seemed to have far more tickets than seats. What happened to people who couldn't get in?

A comedy that forgot to be funny half way through with a seriously underused supporting cast and two badly miscast leads!

That could have been so much better; I unfortunately got bored after 40 minutes or so and started focusing on Jennifer Westfeldt overly immobile forehead... Got interested again when Jon Hamm woke up for about 25 seconds; definitely the best part of this film.

(oh, and this ending.... really! wtf?)

That was my view at the end, I would have thrown him out the window. In fact all of his swearing didn't fit. I swear a lot but the swearing in this just felt unnecessary :confused: Adam Scott, was so irritating, he looked like a really bad waxwork model of Tom Cruise, with a tiny little chipmunk mouth :X Chris O'Dowd - Why?
6/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

This was pretty disappointing on many levels. I wanted to yell at Kristen Wiig to just run from such a pointless role, but I knew it was too late.

I know it was made pre - Bridesmaid, but if you have talent you have talent, why did Kirsten sign onto something like this?? Not that the film is half bad, but her role in the film definitely is...

Well, it was made pre-success of Bridesmaids, not before the film itself. I'd say FWK is very much half-bad. The whole second half, really.
