Well most of the time. Perhaps it is the popcorn or the fact that most cinemas now have coffee bars or just bars. That turns the whole thing into an experience.
Mind you given how the cost can mount by the time you throw in the ticket price, food, drink and parking you'd really want to love it.
Today's offering was Ladies in Black. We've seen the stage play - twice. It received a great deal of critical acclaim. We were really just critical.
But we were prepared to give it a go if for no other reason than the fact that a lot of what we really hated about the musical was the music.
And because you should support Australian cinema. We agreed it was worth the price of the popcorn. We agreed that it was sweet and touching.
We agreed the costumes were delightful and it was refreshing to see an Australian piece of the period.
It wasn't actually smashing (the shattered glass is from a pane outside the cinema) but we all agreed my mum would love it.
That's the thing about cinema. There's something for every family member
