What movie should I see? There are a bunch that are out right now.
Well, what kind of movie do you like? Something upbeat or a little heavier?
I tend to prefer something more upbeat but I don't mind there being a bit more urgent. If it's too sad it's not for me.
Alright, then you don't want [Movie A]. It's one of those movies that really hits you hard and doesn't stop. [Movie B] is a little better but along the same lines and it's a true story so that might be too much.
I hate it when the whole movie is somber. At least give me some happy times to go with the sad ones. Everyone loves Saving Private Ryan but it was really tough to watch without knowing what happened at the end. What about [Movie C]? My friends all loved it, and they're usually really good at knowing what I'd like.
[Movie C] is like [Movie D] but a little less complex. It got pretty bad reviews from [Critic].
[Critic] is usually pretty spot on. I'm not sure I want to watch it if [Critic] doesn't like it. How did he rate [Movie D]?
He gave it an 8/10.
[Friend] already saw [Movie C] and liked it well enough. What's it like compared to that?
[Movie C] is just one emotion through the whole film, there's not a lot of depth. [Movie D] will have highs and lows, it'll keep you hanging the entire time.
I think [Friend] would like that then. Maybe I'll invite [Friend] to go to see it.
I will warn you though, there are times that it's sad.
I don't really like watching movies that are sad. You said it has happier moments though?
Oh yes, tons of them. You definitely leave the movie feeling pretty satisfied.
Great. [Movie D] it is!
Great!
