DO NOT go to a movie on the weekend if there is the remotest chance children will be there.
This is the 3rd weekend that I take my kids to the movies at the City Center/The Mall/Landmark and it's always the same.

Many kids are there with their maids/nannies with the parents nowhere to be seen. They are screaming, shouting, babbling, fighting, playing with their mobiles...

Absolutely terrible.

Monster House is for everyone.

I enjoyed it and so did the kids although the little one found it a bit scary.

My best time is when watching a movie at the cinema, so i think it will be the worst time with childs around, there popcorn smell near you, alot of heads in front of you, turning right and then left trying to keep trach in movie,loud speakers chating, ah it is nightmare not movie..

Another bad thing is the cold. I think that they are overreacting a little bit with the airconditions not only in the cinemas but everywhere.

Hi e46M3 ... i second your statement. Going to cinema in Doha is an ordeal. 3 of us spending over 100 QR for the tickets and popcorn, but these people (which is mostly locals) just ignorant and blatantly talking on their mobile during the show. They dont have the courtesy to talk outside or put their mobile on silent.
