    Saw this in cineworld this afternoon, wasn't expecting much from a film with Rosamund Pike, but was pleasantly surprised, quite funny, kinda touching in certain ways, lovely ending, not one to miss.

    Yeah, same myself, saw it yesterday on a whim but really really liked it! The ending was a bit cheesy and expected but I guess it tied into the general feel of the movie, but other than that a very feelgood type movie that sticks in your head afterwards :)

    I didnt notice that tbh, fair play on the discreetness, I did check my phone about 15mins before the end as I knew my mate had messaged/rang me (cardinal cinema sin i know, but i rarely do it), I was behind you when leaving then, you held the door open, thats so mad!

    Lol I know its just coincidence/random etc, but love things like that! :rolleyes::o:D:)

    Not to be a buzzkill but I found this film to be genuinely awful. Rambling, tonally all over the place, dull and very superficial.

    I think Robbie Collin is spot on about it:

    The trailer look absolutely dreadful, the kind of sanctimonious, self indulgent nonsense that belongs on TV and not cinemas. Pegg is an actor whom I really like but few directors know how to use him, he often comes across rather mean and unsavory and seems to only really work when directed by Edgar Wright

    I thought this was poor overall. It was like elements of a few different films had been stitched together to make a whole. Nice scenery and decent enough performances, but it just didn't add up to anything.

    So you're saying if I do get dragged to this, that I should bring my DS ? Cheers

    No matter what film it is, if you play a DS during a film in the cinema then you deserve to be dragged out of there,

    A bad film is not an excuse for bad cinema etiquette.
