The Lego Movie Screening, Thursday, June 26, 6:30 pm
Come to a screening of The Lego Movie at the Newton Free Library in Druker Auditorium. Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO mini-figure is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Runtime 100 minutes. Rated PG.
