I watch 50-60 films a year, not counting TV and DVD, and I haven?t seen a worse film than this in the past 5 years. I shared a cinema with 19 other people and there wasn?t a single laugh.

A great hint and tip for you is to take the Stray Bus free city tour, this was great to see what Auckland has to offer you, and you can book onto the tour through your hostel. They pick you up from the hostel and first take you to the Sky Tower, here they will ask if anyone wants to ...
