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
