Free popcorn.
I'm a sucker for popcorn. I could have just eaten a huge, decadent meal, and I can always nibble on some popcorn. It's my favorite snack.
So, what does this have to do with Palm Valley Cinemas? Well, essentially, one of the only good things about this place is that you get a free large popcorn just by showing your adult ticket at the concession stand. You have to know this somehow because there is no signage indicating this deal. How did I hear? A friend of my husband who practically lives at this movie theater.
The other OK thing about Palm Valley Cinemas is that if you live in Goodyear, it's the closest movie theater. But, I would happily drive to the Harkins at the 101 and I-10 or even the AMC at Westgate to never smell the funky oddness that permeated the hallway entering our screen room.
The chairs are not uncomfortable, but everything is, well, quite old and tired-looking.
I would never choose Palm Valley Cinemas for a long-awaited film, but to catch a quick flick on the fly, it's not completely horrible.
And, free popcorn!
