“Fellowes & Curtis have gifted audiences with a trilogy closer that’s worth coming back for as it brings satisfying closure to world and hits about every emotional note a fan could hope for in seeing these characters off to their imagined futures.” – Tara Bennett, Tellyvisions
"RT 27 SOUTH"(by Peter Southwick) - Free - One show only: Sunday, Sept. 21, 6 p.m. - Join us for an exclusive big-screen presentation of Peter Southwick’s Rt 27 South, a black-and-white video series profiling Boothbay area residents. Originally created in 2014–2015 while Southwick, a longtime photojournalist and Boston University professor, was on sabbatical, the series features intimate portraits of 18 locals—including Bet Finocchiaro, I.J. Pinkham, Danny Beal, June Elderkin, and more. Compiled for the screen by Harbor Theater’s Technical Director Robert Jordan, this one-time event celebrates the people and stories that make our community unique.
"Freakier Friday" - (PG; 1 hour, 51 minutes) - In this all-new sequel to the beloved body-swap comedies, the chaos gets turned up a notch when multiple generations of the Coleman family suddenly find themselves walking in each other’s shoes—literally. When Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna (Lindsay Lohan) reunite for a family celebration, a mysterious twist of fate causes not only mother and daughter to switch bodies again, but also brings Anna’s teenage daughter and Tess’s free-spirited mother into the mix. With four women juggling swapped identities, careers, romances, and high school drama, the result is a hilariously unpredictable chain of misunderstandings and heartfelt discoveries. As the family scrambles to undo the curse before it’s too late, they must learn to appreciate one another’s struggles and strengths in a way only possible by living them. Packed with sharp humor, heartfelt moments, and wild body-swap scenarios, Freakier Friday proves that sometimes the only way to understand each other is to spend a day in each other’s life—no matter how freaky it gets. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26; Saturday, Sept. 27; Monday, Sept. 29; Tuesday, Sept. 30 and Thursday, Oct. 2; with matinees on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2 p.m. and Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 2 p.m. (OCAP).
“Freakier Friday feels genuinely restorative, not just for Lohan’s reputation, but for the inner child who once loved movies like this, delighting in silly tropes like food fights, hunks tossing their hair in slow-motion and makeover montages.” – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Source
