I am a parent of 3 daughters too. I agree with this father. A 14 year old's self esteem is really fragile and if she is organizing this thing, which she must be if you are driving, she wants it to be at the cool place so her friends won't think she's lame. Even I remember that from when I was 14. She won't be 14 forever, and you will both have the memory of the fun time you had. However, I love the idea of giving her $12 and telling her she can choose movie AND candy or movie/no candy. I'm pretty darn sure she will choose the "no candy" option. She can spring for candy from her own money or go without.
