Depends on the quality of the film and the temperature that it has been exposed to. I recently developed a roll of film that had expired 3 years ago and they were a bit discolored, but it was worth it to have those pictures! If the color is off, you can always have them printed in black and white!
If you take it to walgreens or costco they can put them on a cd as digital images for you and you can alter them if needed with a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Chances are they will be fine but it all depends on how they have been kept.
The best way to find out is to take the film to your processor and have it developed - not printed. Saves money this way.
Then scan the negatives into your computer. If you can't do this, view them through a slide viewer.
Select the ones you like and have the developer print only those you choose.
Cheapest way is the computer if you can scan them in. You can get a slide viewer for most scanners these days, just slip the film through it and save the good ones.
I do this all the time, even on good films, as it save heaps of money. You only pay for prints of the good ones, or if you have the equipment you can print them yourself.
Another alterative is to have them put on a CD and you can view on your computer and later select what you want and get only those ones printed.

You should not have a problem!
At our studio, we have soldiers bringing in film to be developed from their first deployment which was about 3 years ago! And we all know the weather conditions...hot and sandy!
We have been able to develop every single roll without any problems!
Just take a look at your pictures before paying and make sure they came out and are worth the money. You can always turn them down!
Good Luck!

I would say you can have them developed. Ask your self these questions. has the film been keep in a cool place and have they been exposed to light or heat of any type. If the answer to the first question is yes and the second question is no. You should be able to recover any pictures on them. I have heard it is best to keep film in a cool place or to keep it refrigerated. Most places do not charge for a blank roll film. You will only be charged for any pictures they make into prints

Unless you've stored them in the trunk of your car or the attic, they should be fine. Just have them developed as normal and I doubt you will be able to tell any difference. Consumer film is designed to sit at room temperature for long periods of time.

I assume it is color film. Most likely the dyes have gone bad and the pictures will be really magenta when printed. You will still be able to see the pictures. Just print them as black and white and you will have acceptable pics.

It's possible, what's the harm in trying. If they have ben sealed from the light all this time there is a good chance the film is still good and the pictures can be recovered......

What's there to lose by trying? I once left a disposable camera for a year and it turned out fine (well, as good as disposable cameras can get ...)
