I found the film very moving. Joseph Gordon Levitt was on great form - I do enjoy most things he is in, I've had a soft spot for him since the Third Rock from the Sun days. It was a bit of a weepy in places but it also had just the right amount of comedic moments to keep it from being too depressing. Special mention to the the Doogie Howser reference but also the general banter between to two best friends.

So Seth Rogan was practically playing himself (funny, I thought that is how he would be in real life!). Wasn't entirely convinced by Anna Kendrick at the beginning but she slowly won me over by the end. Anjelica Houston and Bryce Dallas Howard were also very good. 7.5/10.

I thought this was a moving film that was quite sensitiively approached with some light relief.

It means that all tickets at that location have already been claimed. As someone who gets to these codes first on occasion, I know that they do all start out as being available. Some locations like London and Manchester go very quickly, and this isn't the only site that collates such information. When codes go live its a real race for the available places - if you're late you lose out.

Dear Beate,

Thank you for contacting Cineworld.

Firstly, please accept my apologies for the O2’s decision to restrict the balcony area. I have contacted the O2, and it seems the escalator was indeed temporarily out of service, for potential Health and Safety risks, it remained off limits. I’ve been assured that it’s no longer the case, feel free to accommodate yourself within the balcony during your next visit.

For any other queries, please contact us via telephone on our Customer Service Line on 0844 815 7747 (Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 17:30pm or Saturdays between 10H00pm and 16H00pm).

Kind regards,

Carlos Evora,
Customer Services.

An escalator out of service could have potential health and safety risk? I have to walk up and down broken escalators in stations and shopping centres all the time!

I think it's a lame excuse, I asked 3 different people and none of them told me anything about the escalator, it was all about getting the downstairs area filled first.

Also, don't they have a lift we could've used it if really was all about the escalator? I call bullshit.
