All You Need is a Dollar and a Kid Who Loves Movies. (Maybe a Couple of Dollars.)

Depending on how far you’re willing to drive, Regal Henrietta’s summertime deal may be too good to pass up: Every Tuesday and Wednesday between next week and the end of August the theater will present 10am screenings of a wide assortment of recent kid-friendly movies for a $1 admission fee. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Will Rogers Institute – though how much can they afford to donate, really, given that they’re only charging a buck?

The lineup will include selections ranging from quite wonderful (The LEGO Movie, Arthur Christmas) to the not-so-great (Turbo, Madagascar 3). But it’s a safe bet that the special young people in your life won’t be picky. A movie theater in the morning? Please, mom, please?
