Dinner & A Movie: The Fighter (TEWKSBURY READS)

About The Event: A free dinner will be served at 7pm followed by a guest speaker at 7:30pm.  At 8:15pm, the film "The Fighter" (R) will be shown.

About The Movie: Academy Award Nominees Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed"), Christian Bale ("The Dark Knight") and Amy Adams ("Doubt) star in this remarkable film.  Based on a true story, two brothers, against all the odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that has the power to reunite their fractured family and give their hard-luck town what it's been waiting for: pride.  Micky Ward (Wahlberg) is a struggling boxer long overshadowed by his older brother and trainer, Dicky (Bale), a local legend battling his own demons.  Their explosive relationship threatens to take them both down -- but the bond of blood may be their only chance for redemption.
