I think Harkins are the best movie theaters in town and this is my favorite one to go too. It is kind of close to home and I really like Tempe Marketplace. Plus it never seems super busy. Especially if you come at the right time.
The place is always nice and clean. The floors aren't sticky and they actually clean their bathrooms. The staff is always friendly. Even the concession stand moves along.
I think the popcorn t-shirt and loyalty cup are a great idea and more than pay for themselves. Yes I actually wear the shirt when I go to the movies. Sure some people just carry it or don't even unwrap it but I like to show my support. Plus you are bribing me with free popcorn so I'll do just about anything for you.
They get extra points for serving Coke Zero and for selling Peanut Butter M & Ms.
I will continue my ritual of coming on Saturday mornings to see the latest movies if they look good. Getting my popcorn, Coke Zero and maybe some Red Vines once in awhile. I have seen a lot of movies here. I have been to a few of the other theaters in town and they just don't compare to Harkins.
I will keep coming back to see a lot more movies here and whenever friends want to go to the movies I say let's go to Tempe Marketplace.
