What’s on at Campbeltown Picture House

Dolittle (PG)

(On preview this week, more sessions the following week).

Robert Downey Jr electrifies one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals. After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr John Dolittle, famed doctor and veterinarian of Victorian England, becomes a hermit behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor, with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.

When young Queen Victoria falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood (PG)

Two-time Oscar-winner Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his scepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency.

Bad Boys For Life (15)

Everybody’s favourite crime-fighting duo is back on their beat – and they’re as fun, dangerous, and unpredictable as ever.

Smith and Lawrence return in two of their signature roles, Lowery and Burnett, but this time they’re joining forces with an elite Miami PD team to take down the vengeful head of a drug cartel.
