When my husband and I were dating, I asked him to put in a movie and he picked Uncle Buck. That’s when I knew it was true love. Still going strong 12 years later!
My mom took us kids to go see Drop Dead Fred in the theater and we were very young. She marched us out of the theater because she realized at some point it wasn't actually kids movie. That is the only movie I have ever walked out on. Team Fred.
I had to walk out of John Wick 4 because I was in the wrong theater. I brought six 10 year olds to see the Dungeons & Dragons movie and lured them into a dark theater to hear a lot of F-bombs (which they loved) and sat there for 5 minutes before realizing Keanu wasn't in the D&D movie (but would have been great if he was.) So I had to gather up the 10 year olds and drag them out to find the correct theater and because they were 10 and really wanted to hear some swear words, they were loud and disruptive and people started swearing at us IN REAL LIFE which was doubly cool (for them.)
When I was 15 I walked out of an Ernest movie my family insisted on seeing over Project X. Sat in lobby for 45 minutes waiting for them. Project X was also bad.
I experienced something very similar as a kid watching Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. I obviously loved the first one but watching the sequel, a terrible feeling of unease crept over me. I thought I must be sick! No, it’s just that the film was terrible. I wanted to walk out but my dad told me to be quiet so I stayed until the end. I’ve never seen it since.
I went to see A Scanner Darkly by myself and I was the only one who didn't walk out of the theater. There weren't many other people to begin with and I just don't think they liked the rotoscoping.
For my friend’s 14th birthday we went to the movies and she picked Whit Stillman’s Barcelona. I imagine it is a good movie that I would appreciate today, but a small group of 14-year-olds who were bored out of their wits walked out on it in 1994. There were only 2 or 4 other people in the theatre and they were probably pretty happy we left.
Congratulations on getting your manuscript out the door! I know that feeling of wondering if everything is actually all in the places it needs to be, but I'm sure it's excellent.
I haven’t but closest was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. With that cast I kept convincing myself it has to get better but wished I had left when it did finish.
Technically i walked out but I was with my friend and her parents and we were watching waynes world so it was their decision not mine. I would have chosen to stay because i would watch literally anything at that age (i wanna say i was 10? Maybe?) I've got a feeling i was with the same people when they forced me out of bill and ted too, those folks just did not like movies.
David Lynch’s Inland Empire. Was most of the way through but just couldn’t get into it. Looked at my friend and she said “you want to go?”That’s the only movie I walked out of. Couple years later I checked out the ending & there was only 10 minutes left 🤦♀️
Uncle Buck really IS great!
I just rewatched it a few weeks ago and it STILL holds up!

Lol I saw that movie too in the theatre. Rip Rik Mayall
YES! I love those breaking noises!
Vic sounds like it was directed by Jim Jarmusch.

Just pre-ordered tix for "Vic." Can't wait.

Very Bad Things was....very bad.

Walk out on Borat. Zero regrets.

Especially since the book was so good too. Painful.

They sure didn’t!
