I really didn't click with that at all! I found it a bit annoying and it really dragged in parts. It's had rave reviews though so must just be me!

It bombed at the box office too in the US. It's the sort of film I like though.

Were you at The Metro Centre last night?

Great fun to try and see Me and Earl last night - got to Odeon for 6.30 who knew nothing about it at all at first, then said it should have been the evening before (Monday), which was probably why we had to change screens to see We Are Your Friends at the last minute because the ticket wallah didn't know there were two freebies scheduled. Still, to their dues they were giving out two free tickets to anything, so we bagged them then hared up the road to the Showcase for the 7pm freeview. Good film, which my OH loved, and future freebies bagged - result!

Odeon showed it on Monday as their Odeon Screen Unseen, it will have definitely been down to show. Didn't you ask for a supervisor or manager? Which site was it?

Don't even think our Odeon have a Screen Unseen - it's the Leicester one. We got the supervisor last night when they bounced due to errors, and he gave us our freebie passes for the future. Monday night who knows what happened - guess we all got moved to see We Are Your Friends and MaEatDG played to an empty screen.

We wondered why they did that as the screen we were in was certainly big enough.

There has definitely been a mix up and as far as I know, Leicester do show Odeon Screen Unseen. There are very few exceptions and usually they are the extremely small sites in London which have maybe two screens.

Have never actually heard of Screen Unseen and can see nothing about it at the moment. Leicester Odeon unfortunately is slowly turning into a Bollywood cinema, and we get about half the freviews Odeon generally carry...

I'm surprised you've never heard of this. Odeon send emails out (unless you have opted out of course), they post about it on Facebook and Twitter posting clues as it is a mystery film. You don't know what it is until the BBFC card comes up and it costs £5. There have been six since it started on 20th October 2014.
