Groove on The Grove

by angelgirl0206 at Citysearch

The theaters at The Grove fit in perfectly with the ambiance of the whole shopping center, with a lobby that better resembles a five star hotel. Employees dressed as bell-hops will charge you $9.75 a ticket, with an optional $2.25 upgrade for luxury seating (only for certain features). You can either lounge around in the armchairs and wait for your movie, or step outside and grab a seat in the outdoor courtyard, which often has live music. Theatres are stadium style seating, with panoramic curved screens. Sitting farther up is recommended here; you can feel a bit overwhelmed and even surrounded by the movie while in the front row. The bounty of concessions is slightly over priced, as always, and bathrooms can be a bit of a challenge, but the overall experience is enjoyable.

  • Pros: plentiful parking, quick-moving lines
  • Cons: no student discounts, crowded

Beautiful Venue But A DIRTY mess

by whatdoesittake at Citysearch

Hey guys, do you think you could sweep the floors or wipe up the dripping butter from the counter?

I work a lot harder for my money these days and I find it insulting that the Grove Theatre can take $25 bucks for two movie tickets and not be bothered to even clean the basics.

I like the Grove but I think it is time to find a new theatre.

Late Showtimes

by vivaciousdivah at Citysearch

The Pacific Theatres is a convenient and classy venue. Located at the Grove, you can mesh your shopping experience with seeing a great new film. The prices are expensive by comparison, however, the experience is practically unmatched. Comfortable chairs, a mature audience, and food/drinks to buy and enjoy during the film.

The only Place I go see my movies

by reservoir_cat at Citysearch

This is the only place I go see my movies, it's big, beautiful, love the crowds, I've been coming here for a few years, and honestly, watch one film here and you'll see.

  • Pros: everything
  • Cons: the prices of movies on weekend nights

Perfect destination if looking to do dinner and a movie

by jenheidir at Citysearch

Movies are expensive everywhere these days. That said, I really like the movie theater at the Grove. There?s a good selection at the concession stand of candy, popcorn and other snacks. Inside the theaters themselves, the stadium seating is helpful for better viewing, the sound systems enhance the movie experience and the seats are so plush and comfy. Also, validation from the theater will pretty much cover parking unless your movie was super long. The main reason in my opinion though to pick the Grove theaters are the number of high-quality restaurants within walking distance. The theater helps the Grove become a great spot to do the "dinner and a movie" night out.

  • Pros: audio system, stadium seating, comfy chairs, good selection of movies
  • Cons: price

WORST RUN THEATER EVER

by vkbla at Citysearch

DONT GO HERE - WORST THEATER EXPERIENCE EVER !

love the grove for shopping, but do not go to the movies there!

they have rules that will make your head spin, staff is rude, this place is managed so poorly, for all the hudreds of people who go to see a movie they are all herded through 1 ticket collector (even on sat night) and you cant go in untill right before your film starts, not even to the bathroom, seriously the most poorly managed visitor experience of any public space that can ruin even the best of dates.

o yeh and the movies cost more after 7pm , yet the service is still the same horrid experience!

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: control freaks who dont care about the movie goer only about $$$$

Awesome concessions, nice screens

by jericsmall at Citysearch

The theatres at The Grove are probably the 2nd best in the Hollywood area. The seats are comfortable, the movie selection amazing, and the convenience of the self-help concessions crazy nice (why don't other theatres do this?). The lines can get long if you try to involve a human helper, so skip straight to the self-help ticket machines. Inside, the lobby is a high-ceiling'd beauty. The Grove location can lead to parking problems, so don't go in circles too long and just go straight for valet (hey, it's Hollywood). And afterwards, take some time to enjoy the outdoor mall too. A-OK in my book.

  • Pros: Self-help concessions ordering
  • Cons: Parking nightmare

PACKED-Get there early!!!

by blrnyc at Citysearch

It's super crowded on the wkends but I guess it's a nice theater. I mean what theater doesn't have seats, popcorn, people talking while the movie is playing? It is stadium seating but I'm not sure it's anything spiffy.

Old Hollywood style filled with ultra-hip urbanites

by cambird at Citysearch

The Grove is a decadent place to watch a film. Though initially it's easy to get discouraged by the ridiculous ticket prices, it's even easier to sink into the bucket-like seats and forget about any and all woes. The screens in the bigger theaters are like IMax's. Fork over more than a hour of minimum wage and get lost in the movies.

  • Pros: Great seats, screen size
  • Cons: High admission prices
