Friday Film

On Friday, January 23, Friday Films will present the 1993 film, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, starring Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Juliette Lewis, Mary Steenbergen, John C. Reilly, and Crispin Glover.
“There isn’t much for Gilbert to look forward to in the small, dying town of Endora. The only thing keeping him sane is his mentally challenged brother, and his physically challenged mother. Despite the challenges that are posed in this small town, Gilbert had forgotten that he has become challenged himself and, with the help of a marooned world traveler, begins to see the bigger picture.” (IMDB)
We will gather at 6:30 p.m. for pizza and other refreshments. The film will start at 7 p.m.
Friday Films are free and all are welcome.
