Google drops the ball and ruins Aurra's birthday movie

I've been putting away all my pennies and dimes to take Aurra and Mara to see Coraline for Aurra's birthday.  Last night I look up listings and am blown away to see it is only playing 20 miles and 40+ miles from Frederick.  I figure it is because it is new 3d technology or something and only a few theatres have the correct projector.

We get to the theatre in Germantown and are unable to purchase tickets at the self-serve station because I don't have a Regal Club card.  So we get in line (we're already running late) and wait our turn.  I get the tickets and ask for the glasses and am informed the movie is NOT in 3D. WTF?

After we watch this wonderful movie and return home I find out that google has listed Coraline and Coraline 3D as two different movies again, WTF?  Why google?  Why?  Turns out that Coraline 3D is playing less then 2 miles from our house.  I can type almost anything into google and it will ask me "did you mean something else?" But on this movie title I am off by two letters and google can't throw me a smegging bone?

To top it all off google is nigh impossible to contact about this.

Thanks for letting down my 4 year old on her birthday google!
