The Rehoboth Beach Film Society's Cinema Art Theater will present "The Hollars," a comedy about family interaction, at 4 p.m., Friday, Sept. 30, Saturday, Oct. 1, Sunday, Oct. 2, and at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 6
John Hollar, a struggling New York City artist, is forced to navigate the small middle-American town he left behind when news of his mother's illness brings him home. Back in the house he grew up in, John is immediately swept up in the problems of his dysfunctional family, his old high school rival and an over-eager ex-girlfriend as he faces impending fatherhood with his girlfriend in New York.
The film's cast includes John Krasinski, Margo Martindale, Richard Jenkins, Sharlto Copley, Anna Kendrick, Charlie Day, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Josh Groban and Randall Park. The script by Jim Strouse is at turns hilarious and heartbreaking.
Director John Krasinski's second feature, “The Hollars” is a poignant look at the bonds of family and friendship. Krasinski says, "’The Hollars’ is a film that has long been a part of my life, and as my role in making it evolved from actor to director, so too did my connection to this story. I fell in love with Jim Strouse's script and the honesty with which he looked at this family at this particular moment."
Tickets can be purchased at the Cinema Art Theater starting 30 minutes prior to each screening. Admission for a screening is $8 for RBFS members and $10 for nonmembers. The theater is at 17701 Dartmouth Drive in Dartmouth Plaza, behind the Lewes Wawa. For more information, go to www.rehobothfilm.com or call 302-645-9095.
