I need to get tickets to see a movie tonight and I don't have any idea what to go see.
Okay. I can help you with that. First tell me where you are located.
I am in Spring Hills, Kansas.
Okay. Did you know that there are two theaters in Spring Hills, Kansas; the AMC Holiday Theater and the Cinemark Downtown?
Yes, I knew that.
Okay. Do you know what is playing at each of them?
No.
The AMC Holiday Theater is showing Not My Problem, Family Jewels, and Shuttered. The Cinemark Downtown has Beyond the Storm and Backcountry.
Okay now here's where I need help. I know what the first few movies are about. I have no idea what the last two are about at all.
Sure. Beyond the Storm is an action movie set on a fishing boat in the North Sea. A storm approaches and a traitor is found aboard. Backcountry is an award winning documentary of Yosemite National Park.
I'm assuming Backcountry is rated G?
Yes it is. Beyond the Storm is rated PG-13.
So they are both family friendly. I'm taking my nieces to the movie and want something kid friendly. Tell me, does Backcountry get better or worse reviews than the other one.
Backcountry gets better reviews. It is rated 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and Beyond the Storm is rated 81%.
Let's go with Backcountry then. I'll need five tickets.
It's showtimes tonight are at 4:10pm, 7:30pm, and 10:15pm. Which time would you like?
4:10pm will be fine.
Okay let me confirm. I've got you seeing Backcountry at the Cinemark Downtown in Spring Hills, Kansas tonight at 4:10pm and you need five tickets. Am I right?
Yes.
Your tickets are confirmed and they’ve been sent to your email address.
