In what looks like a combination of The Truman Show and The Brady Bunch Movie, modern-day teens Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon find themselves transported to a black-and-white 1950s sit-com. With Jeff Daniels and Joan Allen; Gary Ross directs. Screens at the Cheri Friday, September 18 at 7 p.m. Director Gary Ross will appear to introduce the showing.
