I had a little trouble finding parking, and when I got out of my car and walked half a block, I found out why: a red carpet, blocked off streets, limos, dwarves in fancy clothes &#8211; it&#8217;s an Adam Sandler premiere! <I>That&#8217;s My Boy<\/I> was having its grand unveiling, and the streets were packed with press and onlookers. I saw Mr. Sandler signing autographs as I went in to buy my tickets, and spotted Akiva Schaffer, one third of Samberg&#8217;s Lonely Island cohort.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t really looking forward to the film, and only decided to go because I&#8217;ve been waiting years to see something in this theater, and Ebert had a few kind words for the film in his review. Again, I was actually pleasantly surprised. It was more interesting and even thoughtful than I expected it would be. Whoever cast the dwarves gets the prize: it&#8217;s a who&#8217;s who of great British character actors. For some reason it took me a second to put two and two together and realize oh yes, these are those dwarves, the seven dwarves\u2026 Anyway, it wasn&#8217;t half bad. One more night to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regency Bruin Snow White and the Huntsman Monday, 6\/4\/12, 7:30 pm Price: $11.50 Concessions: None.
