ISA took us all to a movie today, Mi Primera Boda. It was hilarious, kind of like an Argentine version of Meet the Fockers. The movie was set right before a wedding, and everyone's nervous and the two families are completely different and of course something goes wrong... In this case the bride's family is Catholic and the groom's is Jewish and the groom loses the wedding rings right before the ceremony. The majority of the movie is a series of ways he's stalling for time while inventing different schemes to find the rings and keep their misplacement a secret from his bride to be. To complicate things, the bride's ex-fling is in attendance and kind of trying to win her back. The bride's mother is a bit ridiculous and always has a drink in her hand and the groom's bumbling cousin hurts almost as much as he helps the search for the rings.
About ten minutes into the movie the film somehow broke and the movie stopped. Someone from the theater immediately came in and informed us they should have it fixed in five minutes. Then, a server from the cafe came in and served everyone in the theater Coke and Sprite! The building the theater is in also houses a bowling alley, restaurant, ice cream parlor, McDonald's and an arcade. There's also a grocery store attached to the building on the first floor, next to a small shop that sells purses and jewelry. Oh and there's a parking garage. The theater employee returned a short while later and informed us the problem was not as easily solved as they had previously thought and that we could have our money back or wait another 15 minutes. We all wanted to see how the movie turned out so we chose to wait for them to fix the film (we also hoped that if we had to wait long enough they would bring out empanadas). Sadly there was no more free food or drink but the film was fixed and everyone enjoyed it a lot.
