The Smiths Falls Station Theatre is a great place to see movies as they were meant to be seen – on a BIG screen (it’s 14 feet wide), with BIG sound (the theatre speakers are big and distortion-free). Seeing a comedy with lots of other people makes it that much funnier (ever heard that laughter is contagious?). Seeing a gripping drama with a crowd gives it that much more impact. Seeing action on a BIG screen makes it that much more thrilling. Come out and enjoy a movie at The Station Theatre.

Tonight, Feb. 27 and tomorrow, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m., the movie St. Vincent will be screening at the theatre. This comedy stars two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy.

Here’s a synopsis from IMDB:

Vincent is an old Vietnam vet whose stubbornly hedonistic ways have left him without money or a future. Things change when his new next-door neighbor’s son, Oliver, needs a babysitter and Vince is willing enough for a fee. From that self-serving act, an unexpected friendship forms as Vincent and Oliver find so much of each other’s needs through each other.

To see how it unfolds, catch it at the Station Theatre.
