Bad Luck Chuck

Mike and I just got back from a wedding we went to in L.A. We had a wonderful time but the weather was kind of rainy and cold so we decided to go and see a movie Sat. night. We both decided on Good Luck Chuck so we walked across the street to City Walk at Universal Studios, which is a fairly good walk, especially when you are carrying a baby. Anyway, we got in line and when we started purchasing the tickets we were told that we couldn't bring Rylee in because children were not allowed in pg13 or up movies after 6, even a 6 week old. So after getting a refund we walked back to our hotel, looked up directions to another theater and literally raced to hollywood to catch the next showing. There was a ton of traffic but we managed to make it. When we got there, they made us buy a full priced ticket for Rylee too, it cost us $42.00 just to get in. But since we had gone to so much trouble to go to the movies we decided it's vacation we'll just do it, but let me tell you it took every ounce of my willpower not to walk away. So we get in the theater and the movie premise is good but man, it is really like watching an adult film, (I'm assuming anyway, never seen one myself!). Then on top of it, this buzzer keeps going off and on for about 10 mins. So Mike and I said this movie is too graphic and the alarm was annoying, we weren't paying that much to listen to that. So just as we get up to leave, they were coming in to evacuate the building. There were probably close to 2000 people in this huge theater and they all had to leave. I guess they thought there was a fire, we never found out. So Mike insisted we find a line to get a refund but we never did get one as they were just shoving people out the door. He is going to dispute it with our credit card so it should be fine. At the end of the night we were just laughing. So, don't go see Good Luck Chuck!! I said I think God really didn't want us to see it either.

That is the silliest story I have ever heard. I suppose it is good that the first theatre was "so protective" of a SIX WEEK OLD BABY not wanting to expose her to the ways of the world! LOL And then the second theatre charging for a six week old infant? I guess it gives new meaning to the phrase "there's no free passes!" LOL Unbelievable!
