Wehrenberg Theatres

My cousin and I recently decided to go see Mama (I guess we like to torture ourselves) and she lives in St. Peters, which meant we needed to see the flick out there. I actually was really excited because I grew up going to Mid Rivers Mall and seeing movies at this theater, and I get all kinds of sentimental about it. It seriously was a blast from the past going to Wehrenberg 14, but I think I’ve outgrown this place. Or I just went on the wrong night.
Let this be your warning that Friday night at this theater is completely insane. Crazytown. Taking a drive down Insane Lane. There are kids everywhere! This is going to sound super old lady of me, but I can’t believe parents let their kids go out alone with friends when they’re so young. Oh, and BUY YOUR TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME (caps necessary) because said kids create a very, very long line.
The concession area has all of your usual favorites (and those nauseating selections of popcorn salts/​flavors) but we skipped it since we just had dinner. The movie filled up very quickly, and I literally felt like I was in a middle school auditorium during a pep rally gone wrong. I saw two dramatic tweens crying over boys and I’m pretty sure a piece of popcorn was thrown at my head. Oh, and during every scary part, everyone shrieked in unison which took away from the film. The staff told everyone to quiet down a few times, but there’s nothing they could really do.
Moral of the story: A-​OK theater, just don’t go on a weekend night. Oh, and Mama is really f***ing scary and probably should have been rated R.
