Forgetting Sarah Marshall!

Cinema very full at Milton Keynes, male full frontal nudity, made us all sit up and take notice at the start :T :rotfl: (Sorry I don't get out much:D)

Good film very enjoyable 8/10 from me.

Got back from Sheffield's Forgetting Sarah Marshall tonight.

Agree with the comments about the film being very funny but VERY annoying having to get up each time a latecomer wants to sit in a seat past you on your row whilst trying to watch the film. I think its doesnt make sense to say "no entry once film has commenced" on the ticket if that policy isn't enforced.

When I fill in the feedback forms for SFF, at the any other comments section, I make the suggestion that latecomers should be allowed in all at the same time - 10 minutes into the film and thats it. If people knew they would be refused entry after that time they would make more of an effort to be on time (although I do realise travel delays can happen) and also that they would miss 10 minutes of the film automatically. I also think some people dont mind turning up late because they havent actually paid for their ticket.

Husband and I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall at Odeon Southend tonight - rating 10/10 !!
The cinema was only about half full. Got trailers this time, whereas we don't normally. Also, someone stood up at the beginning and asked us to recommend to 10 friends/family if we like the film and to send feedback to Seefilmfirst - never had that before!!
Anyway, film was great, appeals strongly to my husband's sense of humour. Mine too as it wasn't really gross-out comedy!

I attended the Sheffield screeing too and there were a lot of latecomers, probably because the film started 5 minutes early rather than the normal 5 minutes late. I do wish they would stick to their policy as we had to get up twice after the film started and the stupid attendant even got two people on our row to move so that two latecomers could sit together. Its not that difficult to get there five/ten minutes before the film starts.

Hi,

I would really like to see what happens in Vegas in Southampton, but wasn't quick enough to get tickets yesterday - if anyone did and now realise they can't go, would you be kind enough to PM.

Thank you

Yeah I agree some of the fault was on the cinema for starting the film early I thought they were about to play trailers when the lights went down at 6.25pm but they started the film and some of the 'latecomers' were in dead on 6:30pm. Just shows that if a film looks to be popular, it's an idea to make sure to turn up early.

I enjoyed the film, pretty funny. 7.5/10.

Hi there

If someone has spare tickets for Persepolis in EDINBURGH - I would love the get them :j .

In the meanwhile I'll be checking seefilmfirst all day in case there are some available again.

What I'm a bit confused with, is that the film is also showing for paying tickets it seems... but if I could avoid paying £7 :eek:

Thank you!!!


Gosh, anyone who didn't like Forgetting Sarah Marshall ???
I didn't like the trailer so did not bother getting tickets... now I'm starting to regret

Perhaps there is something wrong with me... it seems I am the only person not raving about FSM, found most of the jokes too obvious/ in your face, found much of it overacted (and yes that is often the point in these kind of movies, but it began to grate on my nerves) thought the plot was all over the place, the characters had no chemistry, the whole thing was too long and rather repetetive... strange as I really enjoyed Knocked Up. I didn't hate FSM just didn't like it that much, there were some bits I laughed at but I'm afraid I have to give it 5/10.

Before you read this, I'd just like to say, please, please, please do not follow this post with any chat. Don't tell us you've got tickets, don't tell us if it's sold out, don't tell us if you want tickets and couldn't get them, don't say thanks to me (though feel free to push the thanks button!). I'm not trying to moan but if this continues to happen people will stop posting codes here.

oh, that's a good idea - what if people who post code put some kind of small text like that at the front (with link to discussion board).

if someone start doing it, then it would be just a matter of copy/past from another post to save time...

and less people chatting, and then less people telling them off, and then less people saying the stop moaning :rotfl:

can't say it will work 100%, but it's worth a try... ??

just my tuppence...
