It's Complicated or Why are all these People here?

Tuesday night is movie night for us, free movie night, because we have the Optimum Triple Play. We discovered that since I'm now retired, we can go to the late afternoon show instead of the evening. Today we went to the 4:15 show of It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. It seems like anything that Meryl Streep is in is good and this was no exception. It was funny; even I laughed and when was the last time I laughed in a movie. But, why were all those people at the theater at 4:15 on a Tuesday afternoon? There were no kids because it was an "R" rated movie. There were a fair share of geezers, but also a lot of other people that are still working age or should have been home taking care of kids. The theater was packed. We got there a little before 4:00 and the 7:00p.m. show was already sold out. It was a good movie. The actors were real people, not computer generated, there was no nudity (darn), no violence and no foul language. The theme, however, was adultery, which is probably why it had the "R" rating. Go see it and have a few laughs.
