Nothing in Missouri, either, bummer, dude.

What about Toronto!!!!?????

Well, it looks like this promotion pissed off more people than it impressed. And for good reason. The tease made it sound like anyone could score the swag, but the reality was far, far from it.

There are real cities between the coasts!

What about MAINE!

Because we are so far North we are always forgotten :o(

It is playing on July 14th at 6:30 in Waterville for the Maine International Film Festival. Look it up at miff.org and you can buy tickets as well. It'll be a 3 hour drive for me but I think it's going to be worth it!

how bout flippin Pittsburgh man? we just won the Stanley Cup. Psht whatever haters. But considering they are doing this there should be a lot more places because theres going to be a lot of mad people. im not one. i just like to rep for da burgh' ya dig?

What about Atlanta, Georia?

dallas?

I know DFW is a very large city, why are we not listed?

I don't understand why Big D n Ft. W aren't listed! Shouldn't there be something here if we our having free screenings here?

Dallas had many screenings, yet no goodies?

Jacksonville? Good enough for a Superbowl, doesn't merit a movie????

I agree...Jacksonville always seems to get left out of things like this.

WHAT??! this one isnt coming to Jacksonville?!?! :( I was really looking forward to this one - after seeing the preview at BROTHERS BLOOM!! i even had it put on my calendar --

What about Sacramento we miss out on everything.

WHAT ABOUT SACRAMENTO??? We are a very big city and they ALWAYS forget us :(

I am dying to see this movie and no showtimes in SACRAMENTO!!

Now Minneapolis/St. Paul isn't exactly a small area....why don't we rate???

I agree! We always get overlooked.

June 19, 2009 we live in San Antonio too, and agree that a lot of people here go to more movies than those cities up north.

Yeah! which part of the country has more movie goers? We need a stimulas package for the best 500 treats of summer. Movies didn't get cheaper like gas did 100 days ago.

Did someone at Fox Searchlight talk to DQ about the 500 treats of summer? DQ advertise "That's what I like about Texas"? Uall know they are talking about treats.

The banks are taking all the money. And so are two people, who got caught in Italy with billions in a suitcase. We the people need a treat.

city near me?
i'm in arkansas...NO where near these cities

Hellooo, Chicagoans would like to participate in this! :)

I went to see the special screening last week and loved the movie.

Chicago definitely needs to participate in this!!

Ditto.

Pretty please. Even just a shirt or something. :)

CHICAGO IS THE THIRD LARGEST MARKET FOR SPECIALTY FILMS AND GETS TREATED LIKE A RED-HEADED STEP CHILD OVER AND OVER AGAIN! We have MORE food choices than LA & NYC COMBINED & are NEVER given the proper respect from the marketing wing of ANY or ALL FILM COMPANIES... I wonder why????

WTF

Saw the movie and loved it. Promoting it vigorously with everyone I know. Yet again, Chicago is overlooked. Baffling!

What about San Antonio

"Remember the Alamo" San Antonio could use more treats... at least (500) Treats Of Summer would be welcomed at 5 P.M. with this green heat.

It looks like Tampa, FL doesn't matter to FOX or ALL of these SPONSORS either!! How 'bout it?!

Yeah, why is Tampa the red-headed stepchild???

What about Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?

Yeah why isn't Miami up there????

What about Houston?

Yes, what about Houston?! We're the 4th largest city in the country. Y'all come on down!

When does the movie actually open in Houston? Are theaters even going to be playing it?

Another added voice: I'm disappointed Houston did not make your list as well. What gives?

Why is HOUSTON always left out?

cause they think were a bunch of rootin tootin cowboys

Houston deserves free treats too

ugh, if houston was chosen i so would of bene happy, but then again they think this palce is ghetto it's stupid and so stereotypical. i fonly they did chose houston.

We are still waiting for movie dates for Houston, Texas. Yeah, I can't stand this city. Truly the armpit of America. (Can't wait to leave.)

What about Memphis??

Anything for your friends in Las Vegas?

Today In Vegas free Tropical cafe smoothie..On Friday the 19th to 500 people..

Please send some things our way here in Michigan...
