Big Boys
Join us for a special Wear It Purple Day Screening of Big Boys. A young teen develops an unexpected crush while on a family weekend holiday in this multi-award-winning coming-of-age film.
When 14-year-old Jamie learns that his older cousin’s new boyfriend will be joining the cousins-only camping trip, he’s less than thrilled. However, over the course of the weekend, he begins to develop much more complicated feelings towards the surprisingly handsome and charming Dan. As Jamie struggles with his newfound feelings, he must also contend with his arrogant, macho older brother and his inexperience in putting up a tent, in this humorous, heartfelt journey through the awkwardness of self-discovery.
