Worst cinema in MA.

Horrible staff. They really don't seem to work very much, yelling profanities, fooling around, ect. The unprofessionalism of the staff is, as in all cases, matched only by the inadequecy of the management itself. They are constantly "out" of stock of more than a few of their menu items on any given night, they overbook theaters beyond their capacity and then refuse to give refunds. Ask to speak to a manager, they'll leave you waiting for a 1/2 hour to 40 minutes and don't seem to want to take any responsibility for anything. Bad projection departments: bad sound, blurry images. This place is a joke. Go to the one in Foxboro!

• Pros: the bathrooms use good soap, when they fill them.
• Cons: everything

Worst Theater Experience of my Life

by Guu at Citysearch

After reading online reviews and hearing recommendations from friends, I went to Showcase Cinemas in Randolph, MA to see WALL-E, my own most anticipated movie of the summer. The theater was crowded, but it was clean and large enough to accommodate the number of people present.

I got to the theater 20 minutes early so I could find a good seat. I ended up waiting a long time, because the movie didn't start until *40 MINUTES* after the scheduled showtime. In addition, the animated short 'Presto' which precedes the feature film was not shown, and the opening sequence of WALL-E was cut off. It took me 10 minutes to track down a manager and the staff was rude when I complained. I got a re-admittance pass but they refused to refund my money.

I've been to smaller theaters, older theaters, and theaters that were not as clean, but I've NEVER been to a theater and had an experience like this. Save your money and go somewhere else.

• Pros: Many Theaters. Relatively easy to find.
• Cons: Hateful staff. Crowds. No one cares if there's a problem.
