An old-fashioned “triple feature” on The Grand’s Big Screen
PLEASANTVILLE (PG-13) 1:00 PM
A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a "Leave it to Beaver" style 1950's television show, complete with loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred.
DUMB AND DUMBER (PG-13) 3:15 PM
Harry and Lloyd (Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey) are two brainless losers who try to return a suitcase full of money to its pretty owner. After a journey full of accidents they arrive in snowy Aspen, Colorado and try to find her. But will they succeed?
THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO (PG) 5:30 PM
Cecilia (Mia Farrow) is a waitress in New Jersey during the Depression and is searching for an escape from her dreary life. Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels) is a dashing young archaeologist in the film "The Purple Rose of Cairo." After losing her job Cecilia goes to see the film in hopes of raising her spirits. Much to her surprise Tom Baxter walks off the screen and into her life. There's only one problem: Tom isn't real.
