Searching for comedies It looks like it is not the best time for comedies. They are a little scarce at the moment. The Gentlemen is not technically a comedy but is supposed to have funny moments. Playing With Fire is John Cena's latest movie, a funny movie about babysitting firefighters.

Checking availability. Looks like that movie is actually only playing at one location, Elvis Cinemas. Would that be okay?

Actually, never mind. I think I will take my girlfriend to dinner instead. None of this sounds ideal.
assistant
Would you like me to look for a different movie?
user
No, there are not any other comedies out there so I will just leave it for now.
