Hi! I’d like to purchase movie tickets for Saturday in Spring Hills Kansas, but I’m not sure which movie I’d like to see.

That’s perfectly fine, I can help you choose something. Do you have a specific film rating you’d like to stick with?
user
My husband will be attending with me, so we have no rating restrictions. It’s just the two of us, so we need two tickets.

Sounds great. My first suggestion would be Not My Problem; it’s a comedy about a teenage boy trying to effectively communicate with his depressed elderly neighbor. The film is showing at AMC Holiday theatre and there are several different showtimes, so I’m sure we could find a time that works for you.

Yes, of course. There’s also Family Jewels. This one is a bump-up in rating, it’s rated R, but it’s about a diamond dealer who leaves his ritzy lifestyle to have a relationship with an American con-artist. That sounds like a wild ride, does it not?

So I can either have a raunchy, romantic comedy in the afternoon or evening, or a lighthearted, PG comedy any time of day.

That seems to be the dilemma, yes. Which do you think your husband would prefer?

Good question. I think he’ll be happy with either one because he likes comedies, but I think he’d like the diamond dealer aspect of the romantic comedy.

That could be true. The diamond dealing does add a bit of dramatic flare, doesn’t it?
