Stranger Than Fiction

We went to see Stranger Than Fiction today but Let’s Go To Prison started playing instead.

Thinking maybe we somehow went into the wrong theater, Joe left to find out what was going on. It took management a bit to turn off the film, so while I waited for Joe to return, I started getting into it. I like the line, “if I had a nickel for every time I’ve been incarcerated, I’d have fifteen cents”. LOL!

Eventually Joe came back along with an employee who said we had to switch auditoriums. As we left, however, one employee was talking to another employee on her walkie talkie. He was saying they were going to start the movie we wanted to see shortly. However, no one could seem to get straight which theater it would be playing in, particularly because instead of having the guy confirm the theater number, the girl kept asking him, “so does everyone have to switch auditoriums or not?” Considering he wasn’t right there, he probably wasn’t sure what auditorium we were in to begin with! At that point Joe looked around and remarked, “I can picture the Benny Hill music playing” and one lady laughed in response.

Eventually we ended up back in the original auditorium and the correct movie started five minutes later. The film was quite good, by the way. Will Ferrell continues to amaze me with his talent. Not many “goofy” actors could pull off the role with the believability that he did. And while the movie wasn’t a comedy per se, it was very entertaining and endearing.
