Also wahched it the other night and thought it was excellent, how do authors (I think it was based on a book) come up with these sort if ideas?

I found it a bloody good watch and the idea of living life that way kinda scared the shyte outta me,wierd film but a 8 out of 10 for me

I didn't realise it was 2 and 3/4 hours long, and perhaps wasn't in the right mood, because I didn't really enjoy it. I felt bored most of the time, and I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed some long films (LotR extended editions, Das Boot, etc.).

It's Karl Pilkington's idea...

I found it a bit hard work to be honest, did enjoy it though. 7/10
Not as hard work as Revolutionary Road though its OScar rival...5/10

Slumdog Millionaire for me beats them both 8/10

Latika.....coooorrrrr gorgeous

Overblown, overlong, and poorly acted. Like many 'epics' of its ilk, the story is far too episodic to be involving.

Very disappointing, considering I like Brad Pitt and David Fincher (and I have no real issue with staring at Cate Blanchett for long periods of time either... )

It's clearly designed specifically to go for Oscar glory, and nothing else.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a huge fan of Brad Pitt, and was cautious of the length of the film, but well worth a watch.

9/10

It was F Scott Fitzgerald's idea about 40 years before Pilkington was born.

Whoevers idea it was and if it was made to win oscars or the elk,i reckon it will
