Common Root Movie Night - Fierce Creatures

  • Common Root Community Aid Center 211 N 14th St, #323 Lincoln, NE 68503 (map)

Join us on Friday June 24 in the third floor conference room of The Foundry for a free movie!

Description from IMDB: "A massive corporate conglomerate, Octopus, Inc., run by a shrewd and cruel tycoon named Rod McCain (Kevin Kline), purchases a U.K.-based leisure company, and also the failing London Marwood Zoo. To bring more business to the zoo, Octopus hires a new manager, Rollo Lee (John Cleese), who promptly comes up with a way to increase profits - do away with all of the animals except for the ferocious ones. This new Fierce Creatures Policy shocks the Marwood zookeepers, led by the unendingly talkative Adrian "Bugsy" Malone (Sir Michael Palin). Eventually, Rod McCain's son Vince McCain (Kevin Kline), along with the up-and-coming business executive Willa Weston (Jamie Lee Curtis), take control of the zoo and revoke the Fierce Creatures Policy." So, we have an awful Billionaire, his awful son, a well meaning but not particularly effective Middle Manager, a wacky zoo crew, many adorable animals and .... Jamie Lee Curtis. "And hilarity ensues.”
