Kids will be kids, and that's where parents are supposed to step in. I'm not about to start a big diatribe about the parenting style we see here in Doha...

However, the parents who stick their kids in the car with the driver and despatch them unaccompanied to the cinema usually seem to send them to Landmark, The Mall and Royal Plaza.

The upside is that you can predict which cinema is more likely to be full of kids who get up throughout the movie to go back to the candy bar, and who talk throughout the movie and who will make the experience a terrible one for the rest of the patrons.
