Review №1

I went to see a movie last Friday. I thought that Friday was considered a weekday. That is what I have been taught ever since I was in kindergarten. I was expecting to pay for the weekday price. Instead, I paid for The Weekend price. I was told by the cashier that most people consider Friday as a weekend. So, I guess they consider themselves as most people because they charged The Weekend price on a weekday. I guess I will have to start back waiting on movies to come out on DVD instead of going the city lights. Ill go broke faster going there instead of buying the DVD.

I asked about the hot dogs and was told they only have them on week end. I would try to get one on weekend and they sold what was cooked and they were not making anymore. I still have not got a hot dog yet.

This is a good place to see a movie.But sure wish they would upgrade. This is all there is to do in Palestine. We go see movies in Tyler ALOT , if they would upgrade to reclining seats....have more food and drink options....ect.... we would stay in town to see our movies more.

Great prices and a good concession stand. Limited screens and that old nostalgia in the theaters reminds me of going to movies as a kid. FDefinitely worth the price!

I loved the unlimited refills on the large popcorn and the theater was nice, but the section with that arcade games was kinda sad. Overall I liked it.

This place was okay i guess. the theater room smelt like bad body sweat as the other review said, which i totally agree with. the seats were like sandpaper and if you moved it would rock another chair. also noticed duck tape. way too many ads and a few repeating ones. the popcorn was okay, although some of the pieces tasted like buttery cheese, which really isn’t pleasant.but the good thing is that it was enjoyable despite all of my complaints and it was pretty cheap.i would have given this cinema a 5 star if it weren’t for the things i didn’t enjoy.

Small town movie theater. So many ads about local businesses before movie. Kind of put a damper on movie experience. Also the movie started about 20 minutes after scheduled time due to ads which were not movie previews. One local restaurants ad was repeated about twice in 10 minutes before the movie started. Also the lights were on for two long before the movie started...

Staff is always so pleasant even though we are showing up with AT LEAST 5 kiddos in tow....and their Tuesday family nights for summer make it affordable for us to do so.

I love this location. They have plenty of new movies to choose from, the bathrooms are always clean, and there is plenty of parking. I thought it was a little chilly in the theater we were seated in, but then again, it was quite a cold week for us in East Texas. I would recommend this theater and will be back again. Oh, and they accept credit card payment for tickets and concession stand all-in-one.

Good comfortable seat, good atmosphere, great afternoon 5 dollar price, great popcorn with all the butter to add you want, black pepper would be an added benefit. Clean restroom. Picture was very good and worth the journey, saw Bumblebee, good acting, and memerable performances, great special effects.

Nice venue for a small town. Facilities could use some updating, arcade is pretty lame. Prices are decent, even if snacks are overpriced everywhere in this industry.

The staff lies! Purchased a cup that was supposed to be able to receive free refills, and due to new cups with out free refills they refused to honor the deal! Horrible service and the old seats are usually mildewed and dirty!

Honestly my favorite thing about this place is the popcorn the seats arent particularly comfortable, the tickets are cheap enough I guess, concessions are OK I suppose. Its honestly the only family friendly thing to do in this town aside from going to the park.

Cheap tickets. Theater is nice for the price. Bathrooms were actually really clean and smelled nice. Food and drinks werent outrageous. Staff was friendly. Its a small town theater, so its not massive, not super fancy. Just a regular theater.

Really enjoyed the theater, and there updated rocket seats. I wish the had a wider food choice with a place to put orders inside the theater. Not sure if Palestine is ready for it or not. I would eat lunch while I watched a movie.

Review №38

Considering that its local I have always enjoyed my experience with Schulman Theater. Its cheaper price than going out of town. The popcorn is good and the staff is friendly. Like any business upgrades are necessary from time to time but I am grateful to have a theater in Palestine.

The movie was great... But there were children everywhere screaming and crying the whole time. It really kinda ruined my date night with my wife. Please make some rules for this. Im not coming back

The only thing that suffered from my movie going experience was people coming in after my movie had started, other than that I loved it.

Review №41

Very dated movie theater. Hopefully your either a lottery winner or drug dealer to be able to afford the drinks and popcorn. Prices on food and drinks is highway robbery.

Liking It more since they take credit cards/debit. Nachos are really good, get the cheese on top, not on the side. Get a combo, save money

Review №43

Needs tremendous upgrade... They need better projectors and screen size is small and the seating is oitdated.... Its no studio movie grill... But if you dont feel like going to Tyler just go here thats why I rated three stars

A few years ago, I reviewed the Dogwood 6 quite poorly(I said that the theater blew :/). . .And Ive been meaning to change that for nearly a year now.The theater has been under new management for a year or so and is now in VERY capable hands. WHAT A CHANGE!!! The atmosphere is different, the employees are great and the theater is clean!Very pleased with the theater now! They are deserving of your business!Good job, guys! ;]

I attended the evening mantee and Im a senior citizen so I was able to get a cheap price. This can be important to individuals on a fixed income.

Review №61

Not very friendly and would be nice if they had an ATM on location instead of sending us across the road if they dont accept a certain credit card. Also...post a sign of the ones you dont accept! Very inconvenient. Ill be going to Corsicana from now on. Much nicer place and friendlier staff and theyre smart enough to have an ATM on site.

Review №91

The seats are not comfortable and sometimes it stinks depending on witch movie theater room you go in. Its also is very expensive, but its either go to Schulman theatre or drive 45 mins to tyler. It needs an upgrade, but its the only theater around that you could get to if you just spontaneously want to go to the movies in under a 10min of a drive.

The movie wasnt really loud and you could hear allot of loud static in the speaker coming from behind the movie screen. The place smelt like bad body sweat and noticed duck tape on the seats. The walls had stains as well and Im not happy with this theater because of this matter.

Our theatre had no air conditioning, when I brought it to the attention of the manager on duty. They apologized but said hopefully it would be fixed soon. I would have preferred a discounted tickets or comped drink since it was hotter and more humid inside than outside.

Review №97

The price for the drinks and popcorn and bags of candy is very very over priced Everytime I take my two grandchildren which is 9 and 7 years and myself get popcorn for the two boys the 5.00 box which is not enough for two grown boys and extra popcorn two extra drinks 49.00 total you can take you whole family out to eat some places with 49.00 which the floors are always dirty the seats are nasty the whole thing needs a redo the building is a real embarrassement.

Sprite was flat, a.c. was broken, out of popcorn the only good part was the movie itself. Definately not the theater itself
