It looks like it is becoming a real phenomenon. First launched in Canada a few years back Movies for Mommies programs are now popular among parents from all over the world including France (ok for now it is just in Paris but we're getting there:)
The concept is based on recent movies (I just saw Love Happens with Jennifer Aniston yesterday and next week they will be playing Fame) that are being played one afternoon every week and you can go with your baby.
Sound is lower than usual, changing tables and wipes are available and tickets are $8.50 with complimentary baby food. And if you are a movie addict, make sure you get the fidelity card: one movie free for 6 movies purchased.
Downtown Toronto has 2 locations: one at the Beaches and one in front of the St Lawrence Market.
The Rainbow Cinema at 80 Front Street is a good place to go, they have an elevator for your stroller but, considering the success, the theatre might be a little bit small. Lot of space to park your stroller though.
The Fox Cinema at 2235 Queen Street East is an old theater with no elevator and stairs from the sidewalk up to the theater and down to the washrooms... So you might want to get a baby carrier or ask for extra help from other moms but I thought you should be aware of that little detail:). However they will let you bring your stroller in so that Baby can take a nap and Mommy can enjoy the movie.
Now that summer is over it might get really busy but it is a good way to stay connected to the world and the every-day life. When about the TIFF for Mommies??
