When my mother first moved to the care home she lives in i noticed that whenever i went to see her they had the DVD of it blasting out on the telly. The staff must've put it on repeatedly,thinking it kept them quit. One day i overheard one old bloke say 'Not that f..k.ng shite again'!:giggle:

Resting in suspended Animation
Saw it early last week. The screen was packed with women in their 50s, 60s and 70s watching it with a few millenials and post millenials.

No singing, no dancing by the audience.

The film was mostly Lily James so quite different from the first and 3 songs reused. The best performance was from Omid Djalili (clue he didn't sing).

My wife was manager of a cinema when the first one came out. It was allocated a small screen and expected to last a week. The demand was incredible and it became the most popular film of the year. Busloads of women coming to see it again and again, all thoroughly enjoying themselves.

I expect the sequel will be the same.

Down with this sort of thing.

Not So Special One
My wife and daughters went last week, no dancing about but they absolutely loved it.
My second favourite daughter thought it was the best film she had ever seen!

I‘ll admit it, I liked it! The acting is terrible, the singing is worse, but I enjoyed it on that basis - I knew what to expect. But then I liked the musical and the first film. Generally I like musicals and stories that you don’t have to think too much about!

No singing is required or encouraged.

Be warned - there is a similar film in the pipeline called "Last Christmas" featuring (yes you've guessed it) Wham songs

I have come to the conclusion that after cycling and being involved with cycle sport for over 50 years I am truly not a cyclist in the real meaning of the word, reason being I am no way near as miserable or moaning as the cyclist on here. Go and see the film and then have an opinion, have a laugh and a bit of fun, as that is what this type of film is surely about.

The Kinema was full to the brim and booked solid for at least two showings a day for the next two weeks, people of all ages for youngsters to very senior citizens.
