TREAT THE FAMILY TO A FILM AT THE MARION PALACE THEATRE THIS WEEKEND

Celebrate the beginning of the new school year and treat the kids to a fun family film at the Marion Palace Theatre this weekend! The animated comedy movie, “Minions,” will play Friday, August 28 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Universal Pictures and Brian McInnis provide the following synopsis:

The story of the Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters - from T. Rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teen-age rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob - ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first supervillainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation.

This film is rated PG for action and rude humor and runs 91 minutes.
