Apologies Beate, yes it was the Sh*tsbury Ave one.

Re: Friends with Kids
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?andrew.falconer wrote:Apologies Beate, yes it was the Sh*tsbury Ave one.

Celini wrote:6/10 for me too!
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


6/10
Re: Friends with Kids
I watched the movie yesterday at Wandsworth the place was packed got a few laughs in the audience me included, it wasn't to bad a bit to much swearing for me but overall not to bad

Re: Friends with Kids
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.

Re: Friends with Kids
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...

Re: Friends with Kids
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.superhero wrote:I know it was made pre - Bridesmaid, but if you have talent you have talent, why did Kirsten sign onto something like this??
