Must-See Movie Night: The Fighter

"Must-See Movie Nights" are held every fourth Tuesday night of the month. This month's “Must-See Movie Night” is The Fighter.

Released last week on DVD, Paramount's The Fighter (R) will be shown tonight in the library's meeting room. Directed by David O. Russell, this Oscar-nominated film stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams.

About The Movie
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.

Fine Print
Doors open at 5:30pm. The movie begins at 5:45pm sharp. This is a drop-in event. (No registration or tickets are required.) Seating is limited. Popcorn and lemonade will be provided at no charge. Moviegoers may bring their own snacks. This event is FREE thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Tewksbury Public Library and the Tewksbury Lions Club.
