New this week:

Beginners
A young man is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has a young male lover. “A buoyant and disarming drama about sons and fathers, death and dying, living and loving and all the ways we find ourselves starting over, hoping to finally get it right.“—Los Angeles Times

Change-Up
Growing up together, Mitch and Dave were inseparable best friends, but slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child. Both guys seem to think the other has it made. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies. The guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed.

Larry Crowne
When he suddenly finds himself without his long-standing blue-collar job, Larry Crowne enrolls at his local college to start over. There, he becomes part of an eclectic community of students and develops a crush on his teacher. Now this simple guy will discover that when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might find your reason to live.

Shunning
As Katie Lapp struggles with the rules that define her Amish community, a woman comes to Lancaster County hoping to find the daughter she gave up for adoption nineteen years ago.

My 17-year-old daughter & I really enjoyed this movie. It was surprisingly good.
