Troop Through Beverly Hills in Loving '90s Film Series in Library

Keep reliving the ‘90s this summer.

The Barrington Public Library airs the second movie, “Troop Beverly Hills, “in the Summer Family Film Series: I Love the ‘90s, Tuesday evening, July 16. It’s free starting at 7 pm in the air-conditioned auditorium on the big screen with surround sound. 

Shelley Long stars as the modern day Auntie Mame who, with absolutely 
no qualifications whatsoever, volunteers to lead her daughter's Wilderness Girl Troop.

The result is a chaotic 105-minute comedy as she guides her little band of intrepid troopers not only through forest, desert and swamp but the more challenging wilds of Beverly Hills and the pitfalls of pedicure etiquette, credit card capers, and backpacks by Giorgio.

The film series runs through Aug. 20. All films are rated PG.

Mark your calendar. Here is the remaining lineup: 

July 23—Honey We Shrunk Ourselves (1997) 74 mins.

A tiny scientific glitch in one of Wayne's projects causes Wayne, his brother, and their wives to shrink big time! Soon they must brave household insects the size of dinosaurs, a treacherous loop-the-loop track in a toy car, dizzying balloon rides inside soap bubbles, and in their current size--a teen party they can't control. 

July 30—Holes (2003) 117 mins.

Sigourney Weaver plays a warden at Camp Green Lake with an unusual method of discipline. The camp makes all of its wards dig large holes under the guise of building character. The real reason is a plan to find a buried treasure left in the desert long ago.

August 6—Matilda (1996) 102 mins.

Matilda is a child of wondrous intelligence. Unfortunately, her stupid parents can barely tolerate what little time they do spend with her. When Matilda's parents send her to boarding school, it's to Crunchem Hall, an institution
ruthlessly ruled by the principal, Agatha Trunchbull, a hulking woman as awful as her name. But Matilda's fortune turns when Miss Honey, her first grade teacher, begins to believe in her.

August 13—Free Willy (1993) 112 mins.

Jesse, a troubled 12-year old, befriends Willy, an orca whale recently captured by the seaquarium. When the owner of the seaquarium plots to kill Willy for the insurance money, Jesse risks his life to free Will in this touching family adventure.

August 20—Problem Child (1990) 81 mins.

He's been called a three-foot high wrecking ball, a mischievous creep and a cross between Dennis the Menace and the devil...he's Junior age 7--a walking nightmare pawned off on unsuspecting couples by the Brutus Orphanage. Anyone who's ever been seven will enjoy this uproarious tale, starring John Ritter, as Junior's latest father who hilariously tries to adjust his adopted kid before he destroys everyone and everything in his path.
