Great! I can help you with the decision process and purchase. Is there a specific movie you want to see?
user
I do not have a final selection. I am going with friends and our tastes vary. I think something mainstream would be best.
assistant
Based on your response of something mainstream, I would suggest an action-comedy or critically acclaimed movie. Does this sound appropriate?
