Tickets are free, but those planning on attending must preregister at events.aarp.org/thelma11-16, or call 1-877-926-8300.
Inspired by a real-life experience, “Thelma” is a poignant action-c0medy that follows Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson. She sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend and his motorized scooter to reclaim what was taken from her, describes an AARP Hawaii release.
Rated PG-13 for strong language, “Thelma” gives veteran Oscar Award nominee June Squibb her first leading role on-screen, and also features the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree.
AARP Movies for Grownups launched in 2002 to help fight ageism in the entertainment industry by encouraging films that resonate with older audiences and highlighting the best films and performances of the year.
MFG films spotlight actors, directors and writers ages 50-plus who create stories that showcase grownup experiences with a wide range of interests and tastes, but always selected with the grownup audience in mind.
