Saw this movie yesterday at a press screening and I thought it was phenomenal and touching, as did the audience behind me. The audience was rather mixed, people varying from the age of 18 to 40, but hearing their laughter, it was very well received. To see love and life from a male’s perspective, with that typical bloke humour, was very refreshing and of course hilarious too. Using voice overs in the movie was a great move too, really gave a funny twist to it all. End of the movie was very moving, you don’t know if you should be happy or not. It’s definitely worth watching, go see it!
Good one Mr. Scott!
Go Middlebitch!!
Love CHICKEN WITH GUNZ.
It will be hard to choose between this and Alice and Wonderland.

Nice one Paul.
Can we re mix it? Can’t hear anything.
Back here in NZ, we saw this about six months ago..
Good Lord, someone is hiding behind the name Samuel….that sounds like a clipping from the film’s marketing brief. Rule one of film marketing, make sure you put your own positive remarks on all websites first…….shameless
Congratulations Paul.
