What a waste of time and money

Mr. Bean's Holiday! My son wanted to see this movie so bad. I am not into this type of comedy. Silly stupid comedy does not appeal to me in the least. Today is the last day of summer vacation so I decided to take him. He was so excited. About 20 minutes into the movie my son leans over and asks me "how do you like it". I don't want to disappoint him so I said "it's OK." Thirty minutes into the movie my son leans over and says "this movie really stinks". I was glad that I didn't have to keep up the facade. It was not even slightly funny. The commercials were funny only because they took them out of the context of the movie. Once you see them in context they are not FUNNY. In the commercials, some of those scenes are not EVEN IN THE MOVIE. My son thought it was so hysterical when he licked the keyboard after dumping coffee on it. NOT IN THE MOVIE. Also in the commercial, when he is riding past all the professional bikers, it seems funny that he is so determined that he is able to pass all these people. In the movie he has just let go of a jeep and goes whizzing by. Again, in context, NOT FUNNY.
We go to Chunky's Pub to watch movies. This is where you can sit down and eat a real meal while watching the movie. It is very over priced. The food is not that good, but it is just the thrill and comfort that keeps us coming back. We had a coupon for buy and entree, get one free. Sounds like a great deal doesn't it? Well I spent $25.00 on lunch (with the coupon) and $12.00 to get into the movie. My son didn't like what he ordered and only ate a few bites. (I did bring that home to Dad and he was very excited about it until he found out it was just leftovers.-spoiled brat)
A few moments ago my husband and son came to tell me they were going to Extra Innings. (click the link to find out what this is). I said "Oh good, can I go?" My son then proceeded to tell me that he went to the movies with me (like he did me a big favor) and that extra innings was something he would like to do with just his dad. What a f-in rip off. I would have much rather go to extra innings that Mr. Bean, and that was even before I saw the stupid movie.
Before we became poor we bought a year's membership to Extra Innings. So my husbands outing with my son will be FREE. I had to pay $35+. Guess, just guess, who will have the better time.
I will have the last laugh though. How you ask? I have a very funny story to tell you about my son. My husband will throw a fit if I blog about it... I don't care. He didn't even try to convince my son to let me come along. hahahhahahaaaaa (that is my evil laugh)

That's too bad. I heart Mr. Bean. I think he's high-larious.
