Saw this a free screening a few weeks ago - it's a pretty awful film

Not bothered what anyone else thinks, I liked that film. As did at least half the cinema in Glasgow judging by the sound of the laughter.

I can safely say one of the worst freebies I've ever been to. Awful, worse than that other wedding comedy set in Ireland that came out a couple of years ago, Happy Ever Afters.

It was a small bonus to see Kris Marshall present himself at the Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue screening before it started. Wise, as I think a Q & A afterwards would have been very uncomfortable.

Actually I thought this wasn't bad. Not great - but not too bad. I was entertained. Not sure I'd want to p*y nor recommend too highly, but I enjoyed it for light end of day untaxing viewing. An original script and some funny bits. Amazing scenery in Blue Mountains in Australia. Can't help thinking that Kris Marshall must surely be too old for this by now though.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and give this a 6/10. Not quite a Bridesmaids.

Great to see marjoreen and meet her mum!

It was more Death at a Funeral than the male Bridemaids it was trying to be.

And Olivia Newton John has gone a bit far with the plastic surgery :shifty:
