...look, the movie itself is pretty irrelevant. This is what you do: take someone you love or like a lot out to dinner on a Friday or Saturday night.

Skip dessert (that's the movie). Then go see Revenge of the Pink Panther. Make sure the movie theater is filled (there's nothing more depressing than watching a Panther movie in an empty theater...

...Okay, so the offerings aren't new. You can go see Richard Kiley dragging poor Don Quixote out of the closet one more time in Man of La Mancha, which will be at the Music Hall. He was great in 1966, and the play really is a winner--if you've never seen it before. But remember, you'll have to fork out $6.50 just to get in, and the good seats go for an unbelievable $22.50.
