*excellent movie. You really have to go see it. At the premier they

*announced that the movie will begin showing on March 31st. They told us

*how important it is to go see a movie the first two weekends that it is out.

*If the movie does

*you know to go see it during the first or second weekend its out. See your

*local newspaper for locations.”
