Love these little anecdotal stories of our man Joe and the cuteness factor is how excited the movie theater employee got:

"Sold Out Movie Thwarts Bidens."

He's a heartbeat away from the presidency, but that apparently didn't help Joe Biden get a movie ticket Saturday night.

Employees at the Regal Brandywine Cinemas say the vice president-elect and his wife, Jill, tried to attend the 7:45 showing of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at the theater on Concord Pike but left after they were told the movie was sold out.

"It didn't seem many people recognized him," said employee Becky Gingrich, 21. "Honestly, I think people were just too wrapped up in themselves to notice."

The brush with Biden did give the employees a thrill, though.

"I was a little excited -- I'm not gonna lie," said Muhamut, a 21-year-old senior at West Chester University. "The Secret Service guy told me to calm down."

Don't worry Joe and Jill, maybe the Obamas will invite you over for movie night and :popcorn: at the White House in a couple of weeks!

1. This is the part that really makes me feel good

Gingrich and Muhamut said the Bidens didn't ask for special treatment. They simply mulled over their movie options and left.

4. It's not easy to get 2 seats plus 12 for the Secret Service for a popular movie on Saturday night.
