The Kidd here...
Alright, South Florida... I've got a pretty unique opportunity for you.
Two years ago, Joseph Kahn's DETENTION played SXSW, and, after Sony Pictures bought the rights, it's been sitting on the sideline waiting for a release. Well, it's about to happen. The film, starring Josh Hutcherson way before he was Peeta, is set for a release date on Friday the 13th of this month, but I've got your chance to check out an advance screening of the film next Tuesday night, April 10, at 9:00 p.m. at the AMC Sunset Place 24 in South Miami.
I get the feeling that some of you are going to love the film... I also get the feeling that some of you are going to hate it. If you read Quint's take on it when he saw it back in 2011, he loved it. I've got a much different perspective of it than he does, which you'll be able to read soon enough. However, it's definitely something you'll need to see to judge for yourself, so here we go.
I've got quite a few pairs of tickets to see DETENTION, and, if you want them, you've got them. All you need to do is tell me the worst thing you ever got in trouble for in school (keep it to less than 100 words).
Send in your name and your troublemaking antics to Contests@AintItCool.com with the following subject line exactly (in all CAPS):
SEND ME TO DETENTION
Once the tickets are gone, they're gone, so act fast. Winners will be notified as soon as the allotment runs dry.
This is not an AICN exclusive event, and has been overbooked to make sure it's full, so be sure you can get there early enough to get in line and hopefully make it inside to see the film.
If you're not sure if you're going to be able to make it, it's quite simple - don't enter. If you don't think you can get out of work early enough, or if you have class, homework, chores, scheduled surgery, an unreliable car, prior engagements or previous commitments that may prevent you from attending this screening, don't try to win only to let these seats go to waste. Oh, and, if you enter to win and then no-show, don't expect to win anything anytime soon in the future, which would be a shame considering what awaits you this summer and beyond.
Good luck to you all, and thanks to Samuel Goldwyn Films for setting this up.
