Even though I liked the Film, it would probably be the first Ice Age.

Keith Lemon: The Film.

Me and a mate went on the first night it was out at my local cinema and the theatre was packed to begin with.

At the end there was us two and about six others. Everyone else had left in droves throughout. Truly terrible.

Ocean's 13. I can watch almost anything and this is the only time I've ever almost walked out of a cinema. Out of sheer, sheer boredom. But I was there with University flatmates and it would have been rude to walk out. So I sat there for the full run. It was physically painful.

The Blair Witch or Evita. The Blair Witch was just stupid, not scary but annoying with that wobbly cam corder look and I hadn't realised Evita was a musical, I hate musicals

[Ammi]

…I’ve probably watched some fairly awful ‘worst’ movies on dvd/tv, but not at the cinema that I can recall…I e only been there to watch the bigger blockbuster type movies so not generally disappointed to the point of feeling it was a ‘worst’ movie…

Oh lord, I went to Evita with my parents when I was 11 years old... I had absolutely no idea what I was in for, I think I've blocked out most of the memory .

I went to see it in Boston when I was 18 and I remember sitting there thinking, "they're going to stop singing soon. ...aren't they?"

Yeah I remember having seen musicals before, but they were the ones with... other scenes... and songs spread thoughout. I was sat there absolutely baffled that every line was being sung .

That said I do enjoy Hamilton and it's all musical so it's clearly not the only issue with Evita.

i remember watching the original west side story and thinking wtf

However, i did go and see les miserables in the west end and burst out laughing during a particularly poignant moment so, i'm not the best person to talk on the subject

Not just the husbands

I remember going to watch a Star Wars movie in like 2004 - 2006 cause I know my dad wanted to go and I wanted him to have company. But I remember that none of it made sense to me and I could keep up lol

Wasn’t a bad movie, I was just clueless

….awwwwww……that would have meant a lot to him…I’ve often been in it just for the popcorn and gone with one of the boys when they were younger…but then really enjoyed the movie/not one that I might have generally seen …

……sometimes I love a musical…other times, not so much…it really does depend on the movie and how it’s done, I would say…it took me ages to watch The Greatest Showman, then I loved it……

To be fair I don't mind musicals, love actual stage musicals and have been to several (I'm cultured dontyouknow) ... but Evita was ... not one of those I enjoyed.

I even quite enjoyed the Mean Girls musical remake recently . It will never rival the original classic obviously but it was a fun enough day at the cinema.

Really you can only get away with going to see Mean Girls when you have daughters "dragging" you along though, if you try to go on your own I think you end up on some sort of watch list.

The only musical I'd go see at the theatre is the Father Ted Musical if it ever gets to be staged :'(

I vaaaguely remember him saying something about how he could tell we didn’t enjoy it and that he was thankful for us and I felt so bad, I didn’t know how he could tell

…Blood Brothers is a pretty emotional stage watch…it’s more of a story with music than a musical…if that makes sense…it’s such an incredibly emotional watch at the theatre…

I do love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which is considered a musical but it's just got a few songs sprinkled through and they fit fine

i hate star wars films with a passion

If kids are fidgeting and not glued to the screen, then it didn't grab them. I know the signs
