Come to Lawnchair Theater and see "The Savages" Friday, August 27 (and, while you're there, watch a movie by the same name)

Date: Friday, August 27, 2010
Mingle Time: 7:30pm
Movie Time: 8:30pm

Friday looks like a beautiful night, so we're pulling down the screen and firing up the projector for a screening of "The Savages" (2007) starring Philip Seymour Hoffman & Laura Linney. (Rated R for some sexuality and language)

In brief, it's the story of a family dealing with the failing health (and mentality capacity) of an aging parent. On the surface, that may not sound like a real hilarious topic, but it's dealt with using humor and tenderness in a very believable way.

The LA Times called "The Savages" "one of the best movies of the year...told with uncommon humanity, wit and humor. "The Savages" is singularly funny and seriously moving...It confronts life in all its existential bleakness and finds humor, comfort, even joy in small moments."

The New York Times said, "The Savages...left me with a sense of acute pleasure, even joy. It's the pleasure of a true-to-life tale told by a director and actors who've sunk so deep into their movie together you wonder how they ever surfaced."

We hope to see you Friday!
