It seems like a simple wish for Scott Stoufer, but his family does not think their father will make it to the Dec. 17 release date. So daughter, Jessy Stoufer, has started an online campaign with the hopes of arranging a special early preview of the movie for her family.
It is a family tradition to watch The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies together, according to a YouTube video posted by Jessy Stoufer. The family has created a hashtag, #hobbitmovielastrequet, as a way to get the word out about their wish to directors and creators of the movie.
