How do you decide what movie to see?

Asked by laureth (27199points) November 7th, 2009

More than a year ago, my guy and I won $150 in free movie tickets as a door prize at a work event. We’ve used them exactly twice. You’d think it wouldn’t much matter what we see since we’re not paying for the tickets anyway, but we can never seem to find one that we want to bother with.

How do you choose which movie to go see in a theatre? Do you read a synopsis or review and decide from that? Do you go see whatever’s new and popular (or what your friends are talking about) no matter what the plot is? Are you more choosy, looking for something with depth, or specifically for something slapstick? And how do you cajole your mate into going to see the same one you want to see? (Or are you the one who caves in?)

Do you ever find that a movie you were reluctant to try out leaves you surprisingly moved or entertained?
