| - I have to say, Tempe Marketplace is one of my guilty pleasures. I like its odd, outdoor seating and the fires that flicker even during the summer months. I brought my four-year-old here the other day, and he enjoyed the craziness, too.
The Harkins, though, isn't quite as idiosyncratic as Tempe Marketplace. It's clean and spacious, and the prices aren't any more outrageous than other theaters in the area. There are lots of movie choices, and the employees seem to be pretty amicable.
I would have given it 4 stars, but I took 1 star away because of the armrests -- they can't be raised up. It's so much easier to have a four-year-old on your lap while watching Gnomeo and Juliet if you have two seats to share.
And yes, to be fair and consistent, I will also give myself 3 stars, not 4, for going to see a movie like Gnomeo and Juliet. But listen, it's better than you think it is. Really. Especially if you like gnomes in crazy bathing suits. Which, um, I don't...I mean, I only went for my four-year-old. Really. Um...
