LFS PRESENTS: FUNNY BONES

  • Shane Lalani Center for the Arts 415 East Lewis Street Livingston, MT, 59047 United States (map)

The Livingston Film Series is honored to present a free presentation of Funny Bones. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.

Peter Chelsom's Funny Bones pits comedy against tragedy, forming a razor's edge for the astounding assembled cast to walk. Tommy Fawkes (Oliver Platt) isn't funny, despite having a famously funny father (Jerry Lewis). He runs away to Blackpool where he lived until he was six. There, he finds the secrets of his past. Chelsom weaves incredible magic throughout the plot with the secretive and brilliant Jack (Lee Evans) who gave up living his life to save his life; his aged uncles, The Parker Brothers (George Carl and Freddie Davies), brilliant vaudevillians in their time; and his mother Katie Parker (Leslie Caron) who links the three to reality. Add to these characters an ancient oriental powder for immortality, and all five performers (include Tommy Fawkes) give a performance of a lifetime.

Funny Bones is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It includes brief violence and mild profanity.

Livingston Film Series is generously sponsored by Marilyn Clotz & Mary Ann Bearden and Donald B. Gimbel.
