My friends set me up on a blind date, and he's picking the restaurant, so I'm picking the film. Problem is I'm not sure which film to choose for the two of us.
assistant
Do you already have options you're considering, or would you like suggestions?
user
I've narrowed it down to two. One is Backcountry, but I'm worried it will be boring. The other is Family Jewels, but I'm worried it will be crude.

I think I'll have to pick Backcountry then. I doubt it'll be dull with that kind of rating.

I think 4:10 is too early and 10:15 is too late, so the 7:30 is the best since I can have him meet me at 7:00pm.
