Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is the second most disappointing film of the year after the diabolical Die Hard 5.All the heart, nuance, clever jokes and Mr T was missing as well as having an irritating and weak villain. It's such a shame as the idea behind the film showed a lot of promise.
Third weekend it will probably lose all IMAX screens to Gravity in a similar vein in which Men in Black 3 lost them all to Prometheus in its 3rd weekend after sharing on the second last summer.
It was an extra day, on easter Monday. All things considered, it's going to have a 5 day weekend around 50 to 60 % higher than Thor's opening 6 day. That is a LONG way from being a disappointment.
Father Ted, no comparison. No tv moment has had me laughing more than when 6 priests are trapped in the lingerie section of a department store. Gut splittingly funny.
What's more impressive with Gravity is that there are NO good seats at ANY evening shows BAR NONE. It's going to sell out all shows in its 2 week run at this rate.
My local cineworld is picking up Bad Grandpa once a day from Friday. So tempting to go see it before Gravity opens. Speaking of gravity, only has 3D screens around me on opening day.
