Re: Will never go to afternoon movie again!...

I agree, it's just rude. We were going to see a movie every Friday night, but have quit going . If it's not people and their phones or noisy kids,or talking loudly, it's people that come in to a crowded theater after the movie has started, and they start asking if people would move down so they can sit together. Like others have said, It's too expensive to not enjoy the experience.

You can't enjoy anything any more because so many people have no respect for others! I agree about comments made that it seems like most of the older generation (self included), when we wanted to do something we considered the children first. if the children were too small, then we didn't go. We would never dream of inconveniencing others or ruining their experiences out. Also, how true about shopping. You see so many people out shopping with their children and you think -- the children seem so tired, they're crying, screaming -- they are probably in need of a nap. I don't think a lot of people want to realize that they are now parents and the needs and comfort of the children come first.

DH & I hardly ever go to movies any more because of rude, inconsiderate people. It's a shame. The same thing for concerts. People are nasty, aggressive, etc. and you are even fearful for your lives if you say anything.

Now me..while i may not say something DIRECTLY to the parents..I would of said it loud enough so they heard..and ON the way out ..would of requested a refund from Mgmt..and told them exactly why.

I agree NOT a playground! If i if was a Disney movie..I would of cut them TINY bit of slack..but not much!

I would have immediately have gone to the manager or whoever was in charge and complained.

I hope you get a refund.

These are some selfish parents. They put their own wants before those of their children and other movie goers. No infant or toddler has any business being at a movie. It is too difficult for them because they have no attention span. It just isn't something they would enjoy at all. Shame on these selfish parents.

I agree!! I remember a couple years back a few women brought their babies, and toddler and a young child (7) to see SATC!! The young child kept asking "mommmmeee when can we goooooo?" It is selfish.

Some one complained and the crying baby, and the young girl's Mom were called out by a Usher, and they didn't come back

You can get your $ back if these problems arise or talk to management. But to put any employee, or manager through the embarrassment of having to ask a customer to leave is mind boggling.

You are right Irish, one word, selfish!

I have a feeling they are used to doing this .... there are a lot of clueless parents out there !! ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

That is their job..... BIL owns many of these places.

I'm sorry your afternoon was so infuriating and frustrating, but I don't think the problem was the time of day - it was the couples who had no consideration for those around them or for their own children.

Rudeness knows no time of day, no place. Those same parents would be right there at 5 o'clock if they couldn't get in at 3.

I do hope you asked for your money back as you left.

BellaPaprika · ‎03-09-2010

When a movie is aimed at older kids and "young adults" as Insurgent is, you're going to find parents bringing even younger children to see it. That doesn't excuse them allowing the kids to act up but sometimes the day and the type of movie have to dictate whether or not you go to see it on that day. Any holiday or weekend will be a big kids' day at the movies and then this is not an adult movie so maybe next time choose more wisely.

When this happened to DH and I we went to the manager and got tickets for another showtime.

I'm with the others...what is wrong with parents they can't leave their infants/toddlers at home with a sitter? A movie theater is not the same as sitting in your living room watching a movie....there are hundred's of others who PAID to see/hear this movie too!

You should have asked to talk to the manager and had your money refunded. Actually, the manager (or usher) should have refunded the money of the parents with the children and told them to leave. Obviously, they were disturbing other people also.

Did you request a refund of your ticket price?

I totally would have done that. However, not to be mean, I would have complained to the management about this prior to deciding to leave. Management would have then had to ask them to remove the baby (no one can expect an infant to be quiet!) and asked the parents of the toddler to have him/her sit down). This movie was no place for a baby and a toddler! Obviously, these people wanted to spare themselves the expense of a sitter, or could not arrange one for some reason. You paid good money to view the movie, as did the other patrons. You deserve the full movie experience which should be a lovely, relaxing escape for you!
