Marley & Me - Exclusive Charity Advance Screening Thurs 26th Feb

Hi all,

On Thursday 26th February 2009 at 6.30pm in Cineworld Cinemas in Sheffield we are hosting an exclusive advance screening raising money for Cash For Kids (used to be known as Help A Hallam Child) charity. Tickets are on sale now and cost £7.50 for adults and £4.50 for children. ALL proceeds go to the charity, and tickets are on sale now!

The screening takes place a few days before the official UK premiere of the film, so is a great chance to see it before anyone else and help raise money for a good cause.

Synopsis follows....

Starring: Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Eric Dane, Alan Arkin, Kathleen Turner

Director: David Frankel

The filmmakers behind THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA take on another bestseller in the family film MARLEY AND ME.

Based on the hit memoir by John Grogan, MARLEY AND ME chronicles the relationship of John (Owen Wilson) and Jen (Jennifer Aniston) as they face the challenges of marriage and work to start a family. By their side is their beloved dog, Marley, who can chew through drywall, got kicked out of obedience school, and never met a leg he didn't like. The cute pup's antics come to signify the unexpected challenges that everyone faces in adulthood, and the film is ultimately a paean to unconditional love; others may see Marley as the "world's worst dog," but throughout it all, he proves to be the couple's most faithful friend.

MARLEY AND ME plays like a modern day Norman Rockwell portrait with a little more bite, courtesy of the snark-friendly screenwriters and the title's wild mutt. The sets are sumptuous, with every shot lovingly lit to look like a Hallmark card. The winning lead performances help elevate the picture above its feel-good counterparts; Aniston is radiant and Wilson shows off sharp dramatic chops, giving some maturity to his loveable comedic persona. Alan Arkin gives a scene-stealing performance as Wilson's boss, and Kathleen Turner proves to be a great sport with her physically demanding cameo as Marley's obedience instructor. But in the end the picture belongs to the dogs, and for once that's a good thing. A film that keeps the audience cooing, cracking up, and crying, MARLEY AND ME is sure to become a family favorite.

Tickets can be purchased from the box office as normal, or via the booking line or website (http://www.cineworld.co.uk)
