Regarding Cinemas....

[MrBounty]

Not one i have tried before, but thought i'd get some advice on this.

I went to see a film last Friday (The Happening) and was immensely disappointed in it - so much so that i was tempted to walk out half way through and ask for my money back.

Does anyone know if one has a right to ask for a refund in this situation?
If a film is so bad, can i request a refund as, like most folks, i go to the cinema to be entertained by a movie and was not?
Or is it just a case of i go to the cinema to watch a movie and thats it?

I've always wondered where i stand on requesting a refund for a poor film.....

Good morning,

I can see where you're coming from but I doubt very much you'd be entitled to a refund.

When you pay the cinema you are entering into a contract, the contract is for the cinema to 'provide a service', which they provide, not the cinema to 'provide you with a service with guaranteed enjoyement'

Lakitu - sorry to jump into this thread. I think we should all ignore this lung person - he is a pain.

Hi Sally, I was ignoring his thread for me but answered 4get then the dude is saying I know him? I know he's a pain, probably the Ed will ban him today though :)

Sorry MB!

You paid to watch a film, which was shown.

Film and all art is purely personal taste - what one person loves another loathes.

I think theatres, cinemas, concert venues and galleries would quickly go bust if everyone who didn't enjoy what they saw or heard were able to request a refund.

Rev, you really are just a tool!

[RevFunk]

Im a tool????

From the person who thinks you can get a refund from the cinema if you find the film to be pants.

[MrBounty]

Yup - you dont ask, you dont get.

If i can get a refund on something im not happy about, i'll do it.

Oh, and yeah, you are a tool
