Saw this last night in Wimbledon. Cinema full. An enjoyable Rom Com. Mila Kunis was excellent as the effervescent head-hunter. Justin was Timberlake was OK, however the film might have been better with a stronger male lead. The plot was a bit corny at the start, then became quite vulgar however it then became poignant when dealing with the father with Alzheimers. In in all I'd give it a 7 out of 10 - a good chick flick

Saw this at a very packed Southampton cinema. The film was a bit slow to start with but got better and turned out to be quite a funny rom com. The story was predictable and easy going so great to relax to after a stressful day.

    Saw this in Southampton yesterday. Thought it was a good film, Mila Kunis was georgeous and even Justin was good in it although for his small parts in it Woddy's character was great.

    i saw this last night at Braehead, we really enjoyed it yes it was a little predictable but tbh so are all rom-com's certainly a lot of laughter going round last night i actually like Justin Timberlake as i'm not a fan and wasnt expecting much thats a big bonus and to make it even better when we went in with our tickets we were told to go to the box office where they issued us with proper cinema tickets and also we each got a 2 for 1 voucher for any film sunday to thursday :-D

    Nothing really original about this film. Same old predictable characters and story line. But a good film if you like that sort of thing. Quite enjoyable.

    Saw this for a second time, as I wanted to write-up a review and I've just seen way too many films since I first say this at Big Screen. I definitely enjoyed this one, surprisingly so. It actually hold-up to a second viewing pretty well, too.

    Anyway, here's my proper review: http://wp.me/p1LZHn-4h

    I didn't expect much from this film and I came out wanting to watch it again! Covent Garden was packed!
    I like Justin Timberlake but I didn't expect much from him as an actor and he was alot better than I thought! I think Mila Kunis is hottttt :cool: and really funny!
    I would give it 7.7/10 o/
