Market Place Cinema

This place is great if you feel like being aggravated by over-zealous staff with their ID-ing policies and lack luster security. EVERYONE is required to show ID for an R rated movie even if they have grey hair. Something is wrong if staff really thinks a gentlemen with grey hair and wrinkles is under 18. There was also a lot of rowdiness at this theater. Upon entry I witness a teenage girl get beat up by a boy. While police were on site they were in the building instead of being outside where a majority of the teens were. I and another customer had to yell for help. In the movie I chose to see, there was non-stop commotion in the back (loud commentary, laughing, people on their cell phones, food throwing). I went out to ask staff to address the commotion in the back and the guy came in and watch the people in the back act a fool but the most he told them to do was turn off the phones. He didn't address the other issues. As if that wasn't bad enough, I parked in the front of the theater and those doors were locked so I was forced to exit through a side door that led to to a very dark parking lot. Again not ideal and potentially dangerous. Some suggestions: educate your staff on proper ID procedures (people with grey hair, wrinkles and so on should not be carded), have adequate security on premises, post signs telling patrons that front doors lock after a certain time so people can plan accordingly--no one wants to be forced into parking lot at night with no lighting and its also dangerous! Also please cut down on the rowdiness of the crowd. I wanted to enjoy my movie commentary free.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff; seasonings for popcorn would be a good addition

THE ONLY PLACE IN TOWN FOR FIRST RUN MOVIES. VERY CLEAN.
