I am between a few movies to see. I'm considering a comedy, an action movie, and a drama. What would you recommend if I want something with a creative story?
The action movie is a standard action movie where the spy is working to find the truth. The comedy is a new take on an old idea. The drama is a story of people finding themselves.
Okay, so the comedy sounds the most like my taste so far. What about the endings? I don't like obvious endings that you can see coming from the beginning of the movie.
Well, the action movie is obviously going to end with the spy beating his enemies, but there is a twist in the story. The comedy and the drama are fairly obvious endings.
I like the sound of a twist in the story. What about which one my friends have liked the most?
Your friends have preferred the comedy. They prefer a good laugh over almost anything else in a movie.
Right. What about my dad's preference? Our taste in movies are basically the same.
He preferred the action movie.
Okay. And what about the reviews? What were the rotten tomato scores for each? Those are usually helpful.
The drama had the best score because critics generally prefer dramas. The comedy was lowest rated, and the action movie was in the middle.
Well, even with the drama's reviews, your input so far has steered me towards the comedy and action movies. So I don't think I want to see the drama.
Okay, so between the comedy and action movie now.
Yes. I liked the Lord of the Rings movies a lot, and there are several comedies I liked too. The lord of the Rings movies are some of my favorites ever, so I guess I am kind of leaning toward the action movie. What would you think?
I would think the action movie would be more your style because of the twist in the story and the actors involved. The comedy is a bit of a new take on the rather standard boy meets girl comedy, and the actors are your rather average Seth Rogen and Katharine Heigl types.
Okay, you've convinced me. I'm for sure watching the action movie first, but I may see the comedy eventually.
Happy to help.
