After 8 minutes due to it being utter shit?

YANBU. And I've only ever seen the occasional tiny bit of a trailer, which was enough for me.

I'm still cross that they have never once referred to the 60s film upon which it was based and make it out to be some wonderful original story!Hmm

londonrach · 09/01/2016 19:51

Yabu!!!! this film is very special For personal reasons. How can you not love the story? The bench scene with the groom etc in flippers etc...i cant keep a straight face.

Awful film I just don't get the hype over it.

MNetter15 · 09/01/2016 19:52

Love the music.
Love Meryl.
Love the scenery.

Absolutely stupid story line and Sophie is a serious pain in the arse.

trixymalixy · 09/01/2016 19:54

Dreadful film. YAnbu

Throwingshade · 09/01/2016 19:54

Oh god it is SHITE WITH BELLS ON AND THEN SOME MORE BELLS.

So is Jerry Maguire.

Throwingshade · 09/01/2016 19:55

Not sure why I added that about Jerry Maguire. I think maybe I am still angry at all the Oscar nominations 20 years later, because it was utter, utter crap.

YakTriangle · 09/01/2016 19:55

Jeremy Kyle set to Abba songs, basically.

ThomasRichard · 09/01/2016 19:56

YANBU, I did too.

mineofuselessinformation · 09/01/2016 20:04

I like it, apart from Pierce Brosnan's 'constipation face' when he's singing.... Grin

MostGhostsAreMad · 09/01/2016 20:18

I like the dress Meryl Streep wears in the wedding scene and I want one like that

scarlets · 09/01/2016 20:25

Liked the older actresses and the scenery but that is all.

DizzyDancer · 09/01/2016 20:28

Aw I like that film

It's my go to happy film

stubbornstains · 09/01/2016 20:28

The screaming, the squealing, the screeching.....WTAF?

Dizzy...me to. I lost two grandparents within days and this film helped. Dh and i had it on loop at one point.

TheSconeOfStone · 09/01/2016 20:37

YANBU if that's how you feel. I love it. Hate musicals, hate rom-coms but get dragged to see this with mum sis in law and best mate. Bloody loved it. Makes me laugh, makes me cry. I'm ashamed. I'm usually very cynical but this film won me over despite many, many cringe worthy moments. The three older actresses are all amazing in it.

laylabelle · 09/01/2016 20:37

I like the French and Saunders version lol.Used to love this film and saw it a while ago and just seemed awful.Pierces singing however is a highlight :-D

londonrach · 09/01/2016 20:40

Pierce so knows he cant sing if you watch the making of but just goes for it! Love the fact he doesnt take himself seriously. Ok maybe i know this film too well. (Steps away from this thread)

YakTriangle · 09/01/2016 20:47

But is it really charmingly scatterbrained and ditzy and adorable to have unprotected sex with three different men in a week, or is it maybe a bit grim and irresponsible? Hmm.

FishWithABicycle · 09/01/2016 21:07

I watched the first 10 minutes once and switched it off. Yanbu. I watched a different 10 mins on a different occasion (poss from about two thirds of the way through) and it was just as dire.

Alisvolatpropiis · 09/01/2016 21:11

I quite enjoy it but fuck me, the plot holes! There are craters on the moon smaller.
