Friday night, 9pm and Nottingham Cineworld's stadium screen 10 was busy. Very busy.
But this is one of the biggest screens in the country (well, I haven't visited a bigger one) so there is a great bank of seats down at the front populated by only two people - Mrs W and me.
Indeed, we were so far away from the rest, it gave the impression of being the only two fans in the away end of a football ground.
Why am I writing this? Well, because it had a very strange effect on the experience of watching Joseph Nichol's (I don't know him well enough to call him McG) movie.
You see This Means War is funny (and much better than the one star it earned from The Guardian yesterday) and so whenever a scene made the audience giggle it was, for us, like hearing a crescendo of canned laughter from afar. Most weird.
By the way, isn't it odd how there is always one person in the audience who is splitting their sides almost constantly through a movie.
I've often wished I was them. How great it must be to have such a ticklish funny bone.
Mrs W and I are more sober. We laughed out loud about five times during This Means War (that is a pretty good average), while some of those in the home end must have clocked up 20 (I was a little surprised paramedics weren't required).
So, where does the fun come from? Well, beautiful but serious Lauren Scott (Reese Witherspoon) is struggling to find a fella.
Thus, her best pal (Chelsea Handler - who is, bizarrely, made out to be her ugly friend when she is anything but) puts an advert on her behalf on an internet dating site.
This results, in a roundabout way, in dating two chaps (Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) at the same time.
Oh, I nearly forgot. They just happen to be best friends and FBI agents.
Needless to say, they both fall for our girl (it's Reece Witherspoon, who wouldn't?) and the competition begins to woo her.
Of course, it's a contest with a difference because they have the resources of the FBI at their disposal.
Meanwhile, there is a backdrop of them both being hunted by a European bad guy because they bumped off his brother.
If it all sounds a bit insane, it jolly well is and is meant to be.
And, while Witherspoon and Pine do what we expect of them, I must wave a flag here for Tom Hardy.
The Londoner's range is just amazing. Anyone who can play roles like Bronson and Warrior and be equally comfortable doing OTT comedy, has to be admired. He has all the attributes of becoming a major star.
Laughs: five out loud and plenty of giggles:
Jumps: a couple of minor ones
Vomit: none
Nudity: A few sleek male chests and Reece in her skimpies.
Overall rating: 7/10
