My friends set me up on a blind date, and he's picking the restaurant, so I'm picking the film. Problem is I'm not sure which film to choose for the two of us.
Do you already have options you're considering, or would you like suggestions?
I've narrowed it down to two. One is Backcountry, but I'm worried it will be boring. The other is Family Jewels, but I'm worried it will be crude.
Do you already know what the movies are about?
Only the basics - nature documentary and rom-com. Can you give me some more details?
Backcountry is an award-winning film about Yosemite. Family Jewels is a film starring Ryan Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy about the romance between a European diamond dealer and an American con woman.
Oh, I don't really like Melissa McCarthy. Is that movie supposed to be really good?
Its Rotten Tomatoes rating is 69%.
What's Backcountry's?
Backcountry has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I think I'll have to pick Backcountry then. I doubt it'll be dull with that kind of rating.
Where are you located so I can find a theater near you showing it?
I'm in Spring Hills in Kansas.
The Cinemark Downtown is showing Backcountry every day for the next week. What day is your date?
It's tonight, actually.
Tonight's showtimes for Backcountry at the Cinemark Downtown are 4:10pm, 7:30pm, and 10:15pm.
I think 4:10 is too early and 10:15 is too late, so the 7:30 is the best since I can have him meet me at 7:00pm.
Shall I book you two tickets for tonight, August 24th, at 7:30pm to see Backcountry at the Spring Hills Cinemark Downtown?
Please do. I hope we enjoy it!
