The story exposes the systemic failures of American institutions but celebrates the resiliency of the individual spirit. Kingsolver bases her novel on Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield (1850) to connect the present to the past, to combine cultures, and to adapt Dickens’s mission of using literature to hold a mirror up to society.

Elf
Buddy (Will Ferrell) was accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves. Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in, the adult Buddy travels to New York, in full elf uniform, in search of his real father. As it happens, this is Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical businessman. After a DNA test proves this, Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with the childlike Buddy with increasingly chaotic results.
Based on the popularity of our Flix program for families, we introduced something similar for adults on Saturday afternoons. So, mark your calendar, line up a babysitter, take in a free movie at the library and then top things off with a kid-free dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Despite our best efforts, attendance post-pandemic has never rebounded to anywhere near pre-pandemic levels, most likely due to the expansion of streaming options. So, we are regrettably, suspending this program and will consider resurrecting it when the new pavilion is completed in Friendship Park in June of 2024.
