Just when you thought Milwaukee Record couldn’t possibly screen a film any better than Escape From New York, we go and do something like this. That’s right, film fans! In honor of the movie’s 30th anniversary, we’re hosting an extra special screening of Dumb And Dumber at Avalon Theater on Wednesday, December 18. Tickets to the 7 p.m. screening are on sale NOW.
If you’ve somehow made it three decades without encountering this high-grossing comedic masterpiece, the 1994 classic finds foolish friends Lloyd Christmas (played by Jim Carrey in a star-making performance) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels in a rare departure from dramatic acting) embarking on road trip from Providence, Rhode Island to Aspen, Colorado to return a briefcase to its rightful owner, Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly). Along the way, the dim-witted duo encounters an array of interesting characters, faces a number of hilarious experiences, and treats viewers to a grab bag of unforgettable quotes.
With a modest budget of just $17 million, this Bobby and Peter Farrelly film earned approximately a quarter of a BILLION dollars at the box office and has stood the test of time to remain of the best comedies ever made. As always, this 7 p.m. “Milwaukee Record Presents” screening at Avalon Theater is sponsored by our friends at Lakefront Brewery and Gruber Law Offices. The December screening is also the debut of a brand new supporting sponsor, Skilos: A Family Pet Store. Tickets are $11 and, as we mentioned, are on sale NOW. Celebrate 30 years of Dumb And Dumber can come to Avalon Theater on December 18.
