If you haven't been to this theater lately, go elsewhere to see a movie. This place is the worst experience you will ever have going to the movies. Heaven forbid you try and take a date to this place. First, they have reclining seats, but almost every seat we tried was BROKEN. Out of our group of six, 3 worked. Other people in the audience had the same issue with their chairs. Out of a packed theater you can tell the chairs that did not recline where about half the theater. It was hot. Yes the temps in the theater were about 10-20 degrees hotter than the lobby. The floor is the standard theater sticky, probably never cleaned, but that is to be expected. The ticket window is usually closed, making you go to the LONG, SLOW Concession line person to get a ticket or get anything. The older lady working behind the counter is slow, but at least she smiles and is friendly. There is a younger worker who looks and acts like she hates everything about the people coming in to give her money. Not even asking if she could take the next person in the longer line and instead pulled out her phone to text while there were still 15 people in the other line. We hoped to see a 6:30 movie but by the time we got our tickets it was WELL past 6:30 and opted for the 7:00pm showing that was just starting. Yes, we were in the line almost 30 minutes. but these are not the worst things about this theater. The Bathrooms are the most foul smelling and disgusting places you will ever visit. They do not check them for weeks, I know that for a fact because I have been on many occasions and the bathroom two weeks later still had the SAME puddle of urine coating and waste around the toilet as the previous time. Needless to say, I have spent my last dollar at this place and will travel an hour to much better theaters in other towns. They know they don't have to fix anything or be nice and make it better since they are the only theater in town. It is sad that it has fallen so far in such a short amount of time. Used to be a good place to watch a show.

The place is clean and comfortable. But this theatre is 10 degrees hotter than the lobby temp. You should be sure your guests are comfortable. I asked for the air to be turned on and the lady said they dont have keys to the thermostats. Not good. HOT!

I've only been to B&B Theaters 2 times since I've moved back to Vicksburg. I'm on the fence about the theater for a few reasons.
1. The chairs are comfortable if they actually worked as intended to as a recliner. Each time I've gone my chair was inop but the staff took care of it. Maybe they should check out the chairs after each showing. (just a thought)
2. The prices at the concession area are way too high. $10 for a small popcorn and drink? I'll pass.
3. The restrooms smell like a truck stop restroom if not worse. I guess they're only cleaned at the end of the day.
4. The air conditioning is almost as loud as the movies.

For a small town I grew up In the theater was great and also a primary source of the mall income. I'm glad to see at least the theater is going strong since 87.

We came in as a school about a month ago on a PLANNED field trip to see Wonder but when we got there... there was NOBODY there. Turns out the manager and all the employees decided to bounce before we got there, and now we were all down about $10 each. They got free charity by scamming us all! I even checked to see if the movie was playing that day and it said no but I trusted my teacher.
