Hi. I'm interested in seeing a movie tonight.
I would be happy to help you with this purchase. What city are you calling from?
Hillview, Washington. My wife and I are visiting for the weekend.
Hillview has three movie theaters. Cinemark Downtown, AMC Holiday Theater, and AMC Multiplex Gold.
Which theater is closest to the Marriott Hotel?
The AMC Holiday Theater is .8 miles from the Marriot Hotel?
Great. My wife and I would like to walk from our hotel and get some fresh air. What movies are playing at AMC Holiday Theater.
King Johnny, a comedy, is showing at 3:00pm, 5:45pm, and 9:00pm. Also, Indulgent, a suspense thriller, is playing at 1:00pm, 3:55pm, 7:00pm, and 10:05pm.
Hmmm. I'm not familiar with either movie, but my wife and like all kinds of films. What are they each rated?
Both films are rated R for some violence and limited profanity.
Well, that doesn't help me make a decision. What about the critical reception?
Both films are "certified fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Indulgent is at 72% and King Johnny at 71%.
I guess then it just comes down to a coin flip. They have the same rating and the similar critical reception. My wife sure does like a good comedy, but I kind of prefer something more dramatic. We have dinner reservations in the hotel restaurant at 8. Remind me what times each movie is playing before 8PM, please.
King Johnny plays at 3:00pm and 5:45pm. Indulgent plays at 1:00pm, 3:55pm, and 7:00pm.
So, we couldn't see Indulgent at 7:00pm and still make dinner. 3:55pm seems to early. I guess it is King Johnny, then.
At 3:00pm or or 5:45pm?
5:45, please.
Just to confirm, you would like two tickets to King Johnny for tonight's 5:45pm showing at Hillview's AMC Holiday Theater.
That all sounds correct.
Your tickets are confirmed and they've been sent to your email address.
