MANCHESTER BRANCH LIBRARY TO SHOW
“MIDNIGHT IN PARIS”
MANCHESTER – The Manchester Branch Library will screen the film, “Midnight In Paris” on Wednesday, March 7, at 2:00 p.m. and again at 6:00 pm. See this popular romantic comedy on a large screen without paying the admission fee of a movie theater!
Inez (Rachel McAdams) and her fiancé, Gil (Owen Wilson) tag along to Paris on her parents’ business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with Paris although Inez does not share his sentiments about the city. When Inez goes off with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. His midnight walks could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he’s about to marry.
This PG13-rated movie is part of the library’s Feature Film Series. It is 94 minutes long. Although registration is not required, early arrival is recommended.
The Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Drive in Manchester Township. Call 732-657-7600 for more information or go online to theoceancountylibrary.org.
