We refunded...

Its just a bunch of scenes barely linked together with no regard to an actual plot. Its too boring to even care about the characters.

I read a lot of reviews before watching some of it... and as I had expected, anytime you have a ton of well known actors in one film, you can bet that the film is going to be...horrible. I think for the most part the Cohen's do a good job, but failed on so many other levels. I am disappointed with a lot of the movies coming out of Hollywood, I starting to explore more of the films made in other countries now.

Well, that was my 2 cents on the show, good luck.

I'm watching it right now and am 45 minutes into it. It lacks a plot.

So sorry if doesn't have traditional movie structure. Perhaps you should stick to watching Saturday Morning Cartoons? They have simple, 22 minutes long plot you will enjoy!

The first two simply asked to see a different movie. The last person, I honestly don't know why my manager gave them a refund.

Best message ever. No, not literally stabbed them, well....yes, stab them. People are so enamored with their own perceived entitlement it is pathetic. You are not guarantee to like a movie, or it's style. People complain about everything. Grow up, folks.

"You should have stabbed them" made me laugh loud enough to scare my cat.

Yeah I'm an old lady with a cat shaddap. We're sensitive and cantankerous.



Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.

People don't deserve refunds for not liking a movie. A theater can't promise that every movie will be to everyone's taste. You should have stabbed them.

That was probably the most enjoyable and endearing part of the movie for me. Why do you hate fun?

@onesunnykiss: I have walked out of plenty of movies. I walked out of Winter's Bone (Jlaw), I walked out of the first Mockingjay (Jlaw), Inception, and several others I can't name.
Don't feel bad.

Why would you walk out there? That was a really fun scene and the dancing was dang amazing.

I'm sure there's a very small minority of people who would either feel they are entitled to a refund because they hated a movie, or would even feel comfortable asking for one. So I guess in that rare case you want to keep the customer happy. At least as happy as someone that miserable can possibly be. It's a movie theater so it's not like they're physically leaving with something. They just took up a seat that probably wouldn't have been filled anyway.

I wish one could do that with live shows too.

Actually guys...lots of theaters do it. You're all just reasonable, good people who aren't idiotic enough to complain about it.

My own mother even managed to get a refund for The Fountain so we can see Casino Royale instead

But only if you do it w/in the first hour of the screening.

There are some places that if you leave within 30 minutes or so of the movie starting you can get your money back no questions asked. However what this usually comes down to if you stay longer is how much of a pain in the ass you can be.

Movie theaters have razor thin profits on the movies themselves. They rent the movies from the studios and the cost of admission barely covers it. Where they make their money is the concessions which is why they state that you can't bring in outside food or drink. In bringing in your own pop or bag of chips you're effectively stealing from them.

So a manager is more likely to give you your money back if you complain loudly but also purchased some of the overpriced stuff at the concession stand.

The theater owners will suffer also, though no more than if no one ever came to the movie in the first place. But theater owners only get to keep half the ticket price anyway. The bulk of their profit comes from the concession stand. And after they are forced to refund ticket sales for one too many movies they will get wise and stop booking those films.

Honestly, I don't believe these posts when I read them. People talk all kinds of nonsense on IMDB. You would think that everyone was lining up for refunds (and getting them) based on what you read here and yet, after a whole lifetime of moviegoing, I have yet to ever witness anyone ever approaching a manager or box office employee asking for a refund on a movie they didn't like....ever.

But, like you said, a movie is a crap shoot. You pay whether you like it or not. Barring some special technical difficulty (such as the projector dying in the middle of a show), nobody is entitled to...or should ask for....a refund.
