I'm interested at the movie

[hirashin]

Dear native English speakers,
I think (1) would be common, but do you ever use (2)?
(1) I'm interested in that movie.
(2) I'm interested at that movie.

Thanks in advance.

(1) I'm interested in that movie.
(2) I'm interested at that movie.

No. Never.

Thanks.
Someone says Sentence (2) is from an entrance examination of a college. I can't believe it.

Which college?

 

[hirashin]

I don't know. The student who posted the question about "be interested at" on the Yahoo 知恵袋 said so. He said, "去年のとある私立入試問題".
英語でI am interested at that movie.とあったのですがなぜinterested in ... - Yahoo!知恵袋

Looks like whoever wrote up that exam question was indeed worse at English than the students it was supposed to test.

Unfortunately, there are too many low-level colleges here. Our country has no future. A lot of bright students who are motivated to study cannot go to colleges for economical reasons while idiots whose parents have a lot of money can go. (Please correct my sentences if needed)

Don't worry; that post was flawless, if a bit dark

Looks like I wasn't paying enough attention after all. Thanks for pointing those out.
