I clicked on the time we wanted to go see and received a message that they had just sold out for that viewing so I chose a different time and got the same message. I watched several trailers and settled on a child friendly movie (since I am a kid at heart), Free Birds (3D). First I went to their website, and looked over the movies that were available. I did not have much success in getting information on the movie we wanted to go see. I must be honest and say, my first impressions with the Studio Movie Grill were not favorable. Also, one Saturday each month SMG hosts the “Special Needs Screening” a special presentation of a current release with free tickets for children with special needs and their siblings, and only $6 for adults. In addition, they also have a special “Kids Toons” series every weekend morning and tickets are only $2 each. They informed me that they show many first-run children and family movies. When I was contacted by the Studio Movie Grill about doing a review I first asked them if they showed many children’s movies, since my audience is mostly family oriented.

It is located just off of Michigan Road on 86th Street, at 3535 West 86th Street. The Studio Movie Grill offers original first-run movies coupled with in-theater dining. The Studio Movie Grill is definitely a new way to experience the movies.

(Update 11/08/13, Congratulation to Kelly Bradbury and Karey for each winning a set of 4 tickets.) However, I was not influenced by the promotional materials. Disclaimer: I was given 4 tickets to attend the movie of my choice, at the Studio Movie Grill, as well as 8 tickets to use in a give-away.
