March 2, 2013 – Dinner and a Movie “Hey, Hey It’s Esther Blueburger” at 6:00 p.m.
Sometimes to fit in, you have to stand out. This film is a smart, rueful and dead-on portrait of life’s unending quest to fit in; and the girl who solves it by completely breaking out – Esther introduces a feisty outsider hero unlike any other seen on screen.
Esther Blueburger’s quest begins when she escapes from her Bat Mitzvah party and is befriended by Sunni, the effortlessly cool girl who is everything Esther thinks she wants to be. With the help of Sunni, Esther goes away from her ordinary life, leaving behind her malfunctioning Jewish family, to hang out with Sunni’s far breezier and super-hip single mom, Mary, and attend Sunni’s forbidden public school as a Swedish exchange student. While it does have 13 year old girls, as the centre characters, trying to fit in and grow up in and out of their school lives, it is definitely not just for children.
