Worried about breaking the bank this Valentine’s Day?
We think we’ve found a way for you to save money on date night — and get a little closer with your other half in the process.
Two friends shared the trick on YouTube last week in their video “Bo & Matthew Sneak Into a Movie Theatre.”
Their secret? Go in together dressed as one person.
And it worked.
After a few trial runs, the two men found a configuration that would work — Matthew wrapped his legs around his friend and clung tight.
They pulled a huge pair of pants and a couple of T-shirts over his backside, which resembled a large, hanging stomach (if you don’t look too closely).

The pair went to the box office in their marsupial-like disguise and purchased a single ticket for The Avengers.
We’re not clear whether the clerk suspected the ruse.
But you can probably agree you’d want to be 110% certain before accusing a man of actually being two men dressed in one outfit.
I know I’d err on the side of costing the theater its $12.
