Yes it will need to be a later show. After dinner.

Ok. We'll work with later show times. Let's move on to the selection of movie. Do you have a choice in mind or can I help make a selection?

I am open to options. But we prefer something interesting rather than a silly comedy or kids movie.

I am still not sure. Does the LA Times have any reviews on them? I usually trust their opinion
assistant
The LA Times cultural critic has provided above average ratings for all of these films. In particular, Knives Out has received the highest rating followed by Uncut Gems. Does this help.

Yes it does. How about length of film? I don't want to sit through an epic.
assistant
Based on your information you would prefer a shorter film or standard length of two hours. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the longest in terms of length. Uncut Gems is the shortest.
