NOW CLOSED Mumsnet exclusive preview screening of Despicable Me 2 - sign up here!

[KatieBMumsnet]

We've teamed up with Universal Pictures UK to offer Mumsnetters and their families' a chance to attend an exclusive pre-release screening of the much anticipated movie, Despicable Me 2!

"Now that the ever-entrepreneurial Gru has left behind a life of super crime to raise Margo, Edith and Agnes, Gru, Dr. Nefario and the Minions have some free time on their hands. But just as he starts to adjust to his role as a suburban family man, an ultra-secret organization dedicated to fighting evil around the globe comes knocking. Now, it's up to Gru and his new partner, Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), to discover who is responsible for a spectacular crime and bring him to justice. After all, it takes the world's greatest ex-villain to catch the one vying to take his place?"

Visit the Despicable Me 2 pages on Mumsnet to see the trailer (in cinemas 28th June): www.mumsnet.com/microsites/despicable-me-2

There are two screenings taking place on Sunday 16th June at the following locations and times:

London O2 arena - 3.30pm - 6.30pm

Manchester Printworks - 10am - 1pm

The screening will start off with 'fun in the foyer' including costume characters, games and more. You'll then be showed to your seats, provided with a bottle of water and a snack each and left to sit back and enjoy the film!

We'd then like you to come back to a thread at Mumsnet and tell us what you and your DCs thought of the film. We'd also love it if you could take a few pictures of your DCs enjoying their day out and upload them to the feedback thread. Pictures may be used on the Despicable Me 2 pages on MN, so please only upload pictures if you're happy for us to do this.

So, if you'd like to see Despicable Me 2 before anyone else, please sign up here.

Please note, the film is rated U and therefore suitable for any age, however due to the length of the film time (98mins) it's not advisable for children under 2 years to attend.

If you're selected to attend you will be emailed by 10th June with details of how to get your tickets. You will need to add your details - along with a special code - on a link we will send you. You'll then need to print your tickets at home and bring them with you to the screening to gain entry.

Please note: max 4 tickets per Mumsnetter.

Everyone who is selected to attend and adds a review onto the feedback thread will be in with a chance of winning a Despicable Me 2 goody bag!

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

We will be there at 3:30 as the boys are mwga excited to meet a minion!!! There will be a minion?!!

I hope there will be a minion, dds are dying to see a minion!

Same here! I fear there may be tears if there isnt a minion! Buy it says characters in costume...so they must have a minion....

I am sure there will be, there must be!

So is anyone going to reveal who they are? Would love to go home knowing who at least one of you is!!

I am on fb so if you want to add me then send me a pm and i will tell you my rl name :)

I am on phone atm but will pm you later 5!

I'm The DC's are so excited!

I told them this morning and they have been unbearable since

They have never been to the cinema before and so have no idea how big and loud it is going to be!

fuzzpig I am coming from East Sussex (Eastbourne), what time are you planning on leaving/getting there?

I am happy to reveal who I am on the day, also happy to do the facebook thing if anyone wants to pm me.

It's a really easy journey for us - train to London Bridge then jubilee line to North Greenwich. We will probably be going earlier though if there's places to sit around/have a drink - it's better for me to allow longer and have rest stops!

More than happy to FB/PM as I won't be broadcasting the fact that I'm fuzzpig while we're there (nobody in my family knows my MN name and I'd like it to stay that way!). I will be carrying a TopCat bag though, if that helps :o

I'm happy to add via FB. PM me if you want to know who I am.

I have made a preview page on FB

If you want to join just this evening just so you see some familiar faces tomorrow, please pm me your rl name and i will send you an invite to it.

Hello MNHQ - just wanted to pop back and say that the film was brilliant and Mr. heave and the mini-heaves had a great time too.

Yes it was a really really lovely day, we picked up a takeaway on the way home and DD2 said mummy today has been treats day all day hasn't it?

Thank you soooo much

Yes, same here. I will add my feedback to the other thread but had to say a big thank you - we had such a brilliant time and both kids were thoroughly worn out with happiness when we got home :)
