Re: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
This film really isn't popular is it? There's Sky screenings today and not one person has mentioned how much they are looking forward to seeing it.

I think this film could have potential . . . though this could be the kiss of death!superhero wrote:This film really isn't popular is it? There's Sky screenings today and not one person has mentioned how much they are looking forward to seeing it.
The preview I saw didn't show anything great but sometimes the films with little hype turn out ok.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to Glasgow Cineworld so will report back later!

Re: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Sadly from the atrocious reviews and the box office tanking it's taken over at the States, I don't think this film will do very well over here. Plus Steve Carrell is popular in the States, but not really internationally.

Re: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
People seem to be more excited about Magic Mike, yet on IMDB that scores 6.5 as against 7.2 for this one. OK, not a huge difference, but if it turned out that I agreed with both, for me that would be the difference between "Barely worth seeing" and "Not up there with the best but entertaining." Not that I have a choice tonight, either than of venues at which to see this one!

Dull, plodding, unimaginative drivel.
Seemingly transpires over 25 days yet feels like 25 years.
