Hector and the search for happiness

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

Ah nice one there, love random things like that! :pac::D

I was sitting middle/back, put beside the girl who wouldnt stop laughing at random things very loud and then left before the ending :rolleyes:

I was Row J, seat 16, besides a girl who wouldn't stop laughing and left before the end and a girl eating a pack of sweets :pac:

candy-gal1

Ah no way!!! :pac::p:)

That could have been the row I was in, guilty here of not really looking at my seat number thingy unless its really packed or I have to tbh , I could have been the girl eatting the sweets then if thats the case
Namesake and all that, makes sense again! lol

you were sitting in the aisle seat?

Yeah, playing a DS console :P

candy-gal1

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:)

cloud493

Mad stuff good movie so.

candy-gal1

Definitly, ah it was - very very feelgood, might see you at the next one :P:pac::)

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.
