How The Grinch Stole Christmas

3:00 pm

The Chatham Goodfellows is happy to sponsor a free showing of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas."  This special event will help commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Goodfellows in Chatham. There will be prizes, and even a special appearance of the Grinch himself.

This is a free movie, all they ask is that you bring a can good or a box of macaroni and cheese.

 

Delightful, hilarious and charming new live-action comedy fantasy: A curmudgeonly recluse whose heart is two sizes too small, the Grinch resides in his cave high atop Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max, and plenty of lettuce juice, extra virgin castor oil and sour milk for sustenance. Annoyed by the out-of-control Christmas festivities in Whoville, the Grinch conspires to deprive the Who's of their favorite holiday, but comes to learn that the spirit of Christmas goes much deeper than tinsel and toys.


Rating: PG
Genre: Family/Comedy
Runtime: 1h 44min
Stars: Jim Carrey, Taylor Momsen, Kelley

A human baby raised as an elf. A city where no one remembers the true meaning of Christmas. Will Ferrell (Saturday Night Live, Superstar) stars as Buddy, a human raised in the North Pole to be an elf. After wreaking havoc in the elf community due to his size, Buddy heads to New York City to find his place in the world, and track down his father. But life in the big city is not all sugarplums and candy canes. His father is a "Scrooge" and his eight-year-old stepbrother doesn't believe in Santa. Even the snowmen aren't friendly in New York. In fact, they don't even speak. Worst of all, everyone has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, and it's up to Buddy and his simple elf ways to win over his family, realize his destiny and, ultimately, save Christmas for New York and the world.
