Some girls will do anything to meet their idols.
We’re doing an encore of Isa’s Staff Pick from February as she presents another screening of Robert Zemekis’ I Wanna Hold Your Hand!
The story follows a group of wide-eyed New Jersey teenagers who descend on New York City in hopes of getting close to their idols. What begins as a simple plan (to see The Beatles) spirals into a chaotic, cross-town odyssey filled with manic Beatlemania-fueled hijinks.
More than just a period comedy, I Wanna Hold Your Hand is a joyous time capsule of a cultural turning point. Come see this rarely screened gem on the big screen with fellow Beatles fans!
