    Does anyone know of any new cinemas going straight on the preview screening? we've just had a vue open up round here, I'm hoping it'll open up some new screening options

    I saw it and wasn't that impressed. I dunno, it was ok but a bit boring in parts. Reminded me slightly of another freebie I'd seen recently - Welcome to the Punch. What did you think?

    I thought welcome to the punch was a much better film, characters were more animated and the film had life.

    I found I was just waiting for the end of the film with Get Lucky, best bit was Simone's talk at the beginning, my husband and I think she's a lovely girl:T

    I thought it was awful. More holes than a string vest, poor storyline, wooden acting, cringe-worthy humour - in short 'the worse film I've seen this year'. People were walking out of the cinema, and if it wasn't for the fact I'm in a wheelchair and in the middle of a row, I would have done the same!!!

    I'd be very surprised if this goes to general release.

    Haven't seen get lucky but i saw Welcome to the punch and can honestly say i can't remember anything about the film so must have been pretty dire

    Welcome to the punch is the one with James McAvoy as a cop who got shot in the knee by the bad guy Mark Strong, then they hacve to work together, I thought it was pretty good but we all have different tastes, somebody may even have liked Get Lucky x:rotfl:

    Really disappointed with this one....

    Just seemed a complete "Mess" - film couldn't decide if it was a slap-stick comedy, 'sick' comedy, 'black' comedy, docu-drama....
    But for me, it didn't work on any level....
    I did have a couple of laughs - but not enough to warrant sitting through the entire film.
    When I got home I read some reviews - presume they were watching the same film, so it must be my sense of humour.:cool:
