What IF you won tickets to your very own private screening?

All it takes is a little imagination

Want to see something no one else can? And no, we’re not talking about your imaginary friend. We’re talking about a private screening of IF, an epic family adventure starring Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski and a bunch of other ridiculously famous people.

Fancy it? Well, here’s how you could win you and your kids a free private screening at your local Vue.

You’re not imagining things

Yes, you read the above text right. You could win a private screening for you, your kids, and their friends (real and imaginary) to enjoy this must-watch family adventure like the VIPs you are. You can invite up to 30 people to your private screening, leaving plenty of room for your kids’ IFs to sit wherever they want. Oh, and you can also bring your own snacks and drinks. Us and Blue promise not to tell anyone.

How to win your very own private screening of IF

It’s pretty simple, really. All you have to do is find our competition on our social channels and describe your kids’ imaginary friends in the comments. The competition will run from 26 April to 6 May and we’ll select the lucky winners at random by the week commencing 7 May.

Heads up, though, you’ll need to redeem your private screening within 48 hours of being notified, otherwise your tickets will be lost forever – like your youth. You’ll also get to choose the date and time of your screening, but this cannot be changed once you’ve decided. Soz. 

For full contest terms and conditions please see below. 

Tell me more about IF

What if… what if… what if that imaginary friend you had as a kid was actually real? That’s basically the setup here, except now throw in a little girl who has the magical ability to actually see those imaginary friends. And she’s being helped by Ryan Reynolds to find these forgotten IFs some new kid besties. Yeah, that’s the plot.

As we mentioned, this live-action and animated mash-up features an absolutely mega cast, including the voices Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, John Krasinski, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Awkwafina, Sam Rockwell and many more. See, mega. 

So, if you’re desperate to reignite your childlike sense of wonder, keep the kids thoroughly enthralled for a couple of uninterrupted hours, or just laugh at famous people doing silly voices, jump over to our socials and take part in the competition. 

TLDR? Take a look at the official trailer.
