Just got back from seeing this by far the best one of the three films- lots of laughs and the soundtrack is great-very lively, makes you want to dance.

Ooh, thanks Teetime. Found her quite annoying in the first two so wasn't going to bother with this one but now I might. smile

Ooh looking forward to seeing it. Thought the first one was great! Even watched it again on DVD! Enjoyed the second also, but not quite as good in my opinion. I usually find some of the follow up films are slightly watered down, but this is getting great reviews.

I enjoyed the first one, but not so much the second one. I don't suppose my husband will want to see it so I will probably wait for the DVD.

Reading the synopsis of the film, it seems the film deviates from the book somewhat, which I read it a couple of years ago. If my memory serves me well, Bridget was a widow with 2 children. I prefer films to be true to the book, but I will probably see it, I enjoyed the other two and I like Rene Zellwegger.

Ah no it doesn't follow the third book at all - a completely different story. I enjoyed the third book though but this film has a great feel good factor and as I say the music is great - I think I want to go to a festival now and get muddy with a stranger!!!

Agree Terribull and Teetime the new film doesn't seem to follow the book at all. Looking forward to seeing the film, although it looks like I might have to go alone sad

I ve never read the book and I didn't see the first two films but I throughly enjoyed this one I was laughing till the tears ran down my face She picked the wrong man though (for me anyway )

I loved it. Laughed through most of it. Haven't read the book, so nothing to compare it with.

Wasn't expecting much but loved it.

The whole audience were giggling out loud all the way through.

I've just seen this today. I only went because my sister asked me to. I thought I would hate it. I have never seen the others as I didn't think it was my sort of thing. I loved
it smile

Went to see it the other week, great escapist nonsense, but sometimes that's all you want smile Saw trailers for two films that are on my list, "Girl on a Train", read the book a while back and something called "La La Land" slightly weird looking song and dance film which I have heard is very good.
