The Harkins Christown Theater is a surprisingly nice theater considering the area of Phoenix it's in. I think it was built fairly recently. I came to see "Four Christmases" on Christmas and couldn't believe how crowded it was (then again, when it's the first wet Christmas in the Valley since 1994, what else is everyone going to do other than stay at home). The credit card ticket kiosk was a Godsend, considering the line (I'm from Cleveland and I've never seen a kiosk for ticket purchsing at any of my local theaters). The theater is very nice and clean and the stadium seating is always a plus. Overall, if you're going to see a movie in Central Phoenix, the Harkins at Christown is a really good theater to go to.
