Movie Time Again at the Library!
Join us on Wednesday, September 1 at 1:00 for the showing of Old Dogs at the Barrett Paradise Friendly Library in the Weiler Family Community Room. Old Dogs is a comedy film directed by Wild Hogs's Walt Becker and starring Robin Williams and John Travolta with supporting roles played by Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon, Justin Long, Seth Green, Rita Wilson, Dax Shepard, and Bernie Mac. Two best friends, one unlucky in love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the other a fun loving bachelor (John Travolta), have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of six year old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The “not so kid savvy” bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins, leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new found understanding of what’s really important in life. This movies is rated PG.
