How to Select a Good Date Movie

Introduction

When picking a movie to see with a date, include your companion in the decision-making process. Check reviews, look at critics' blurbs in ads and ask friends for their opinions. Consider the theaters involved, then make the choice together.

8

Step Eight

Get to the theater at least 10 minutes early. If you picked the film, offer to buy your partner a soft drink.

Tips & Warnings

  • Certain friends can be great sources for amateur movie reviews. Pay attention to people you usually agree with. On the other hand, if someone who doesn't share your taste pans a film, it might be a winner.
  • To really impress your date, do some research online to decide whether or not a film is worth seeing.
  • Make a good impression by driving a bit farther to see a unique film in a good theater with excellent restaurants nearby.
  • If a movie is nearly sold out, pick another film. This option is better than sitting in the first row and leaving two hours later with a sore neck and an irritable companion.
  • Never force your date to see a movie you know he or she will hate.
  • Avoid theaters that attract dangerous characters, particularly at night.
  • If all the critics' blurbs in a newspaper ad come from radio and television critics, the movie may be shallow and forgettable.
