Join us as we get together to see the crime-comedy-drama, ROOFMAN! The film stars Channing Tatum and is a loose biopic of Jeffery Manchester, a former US Army Reserve Office and fugitive who evaded capture by hiding in a Toys R Us store! Here are details, a trailer and plan for this event:

DESCRIPION: The film is a biopic of the fugitive Jeffrey Manchester, a former United States Army Reserve officer, known colloquially as Roofman due to his propensity to steal from branches of McDonald's after entering their premises via the roof. Most notably, he evaded capture by police by hiding in the wall of a Toys "R" Us store. The film is directed by Derek Cianfrance and stars Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Jimmy O. Yang and Peter Dinklage.

BUZZ & REVIEWS: The film premiered at this year’s Toronto Film Festival where earlier reviewers declared: “With a career-best Tatum at the center and an ensemble that fills in every corner with warmth and wit, Roofman is one of this year's most pleasant surprises.” According to one critic, “It has love, humor, disguises, feel good moments, and enough thrills and deceit to keep you on the edge of your seat.”

PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtime! Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the comments below. Possible/likely pre-show Happy Hour bite at nearby Bravo! Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer.

Look forward seeing you there, Dan
