I've never worked on my birthday (in the last 26 years) so, yes, I'm having the day off. I had the Friday before too just to use up some leave I needed to take.
A group of us are going out later for a meal (Italian) and then seeing 'Divergent'.
I thought both young leads were pretty good and the story line mostly worked. There were a few plot holes and unexplained bits but I guess that was because of the translation from book to movie. It certainly didn't feel like just over 2hrs which is a good sign in my mind. In many ways it was an introduction to the trilogy was was heavier on explanation than future films will be (if they make them). I certainly wasn't thinking of asking for my money back at the end of it.
Overall entertaining in a teen sort of way. If you liked the Hunger Games you'll like this.

Happy birthday! Are you taking the day off work or doing anything special?
Thanks.

Happy birthday to you! I hope the day was all you'd hoped for, and you can celebrate with mounds of books and film.
Thanks SC.
6 books from friends plus 1 I bought myself today.
Film was pretty much what I expected it to be. Did exactly what it said on the tin and was at least as good as the first Hunger Games movie.
What did you think of Divergent? I haven't seen it yet, debating on seeing it at theatre versus Netflix at home eventually.
Of the 4 of us who saw it 3 liked it.
