Pack a Picnic, Bring a Blanket
"A mysterious criminal mastermind has stolen one of the pyramids in Egypt, sparking a fit of jealous envy in evil genius Gru, who hasn't managed to make headlines since he and his minions swiped the Times Square JumboTron years back. Ever since Gru was a little boy, he dreamed of going to the moon. Now, if Gru can just build a rocket and get his hands on a powerful shrink-ray, he can cement his reputation as the greatest thief who ever lived by stealing --- the Earth's satellite."

Join us for Cinema Under the Stars night at HB Lee Middle School. Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy a free showing of 4-star rated Despicable Me, rated PG. Despicable Me is a surprisingly thoughtful, family-friendly treat with a few surprises of its own. Fun begins at 7:00PM, and the movie will start at dusk.
