  Bit boring
  
  Love Ellen Page in this but both my 11yr old daughter and I found it very predictable and quite dull.

  Enjoyed It.
  
  A Good few laughs, not a comedy you usually see from Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore is as funny as always. Highly enjoyable. Easy Watching.

  Awesome
  
  A cool debut director outing for Drew Barrymore. The cast is brilliant and this is a full on feel good film. Feisty and loads of fun. Loved it!
