So annoying, just went to print my ticket for this and have found that my printer is broken! Says there is a paper jam but there is no jam! Not sure how long it is going to take me to fix it. Useless printer!

Very enjoyable film. Great fun for a Saturday morning albeit with a predictable ending. Fine performances throughout. Loved it.

They started the film at 10.30am at Greenwich! So I raced out and showed them my ticket which quite clearly stated the start time as 11am and told them there would be lots of latecomers (cinema was barely full at that point), and mercifully they actually listened and stopped the film and came in to apologise and say it would start again at 11am!

Film was alright but formulaic and predictable, and I personally would have got off with the snow boarding instructor. Also, Bill Bailey in the bathtub is not a pretty sight. All the snowboarding and competition stuff left me cold, I only perked up when the blonde girl called Bernhard a "Scheisskopf". Bill Nighy was criminally underused and not allowed to show his quirky side. And it took me half the film to identify Brooke Shields! Entirely forgettable, I am afraid.

We also had 4 giggly girls to the left who couldn't sit still for a moment.

What happened after the credits rolled? Could hear someone talking on the screen but was already on my way to the toilet!

My daughter and I went to see this at Tunbridge Wells this morning - very empty cinema unfortunately - cant understand why the the availability is NIL yet empty seats :tears: However, we loved the film. Predictable yes but nevertheless really good. Very funny too. Just wish I could snow board like that - makes my attempts look very miserable :cry: .

Bill Nighy could have been used more admittedly. Ed Westwick - well what can I say - love him in Gossip Girl with his american accent but now in this film with his english...mmmm...yes please is what i'll say!!! :kiss:

Liked the clips at the end too - always good to see those.

On the whole - gets a 10/10 for me. One i'll watch again.
