After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth, the being is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas).

Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was — and falls for him.

Hear What Others Have To Say

"My husband and I very much enjoy Cape Cinema the atmosphere the staff awesome cookies herbal tea and of course the popcorn. Even if the movie didn't end up to our liking we still enjoy the cinema and staff."

"Such a cool place to see a movie, from the vintage, small-town atmosphere to the ceiling artwork. Every year, they always have a great selection of films, including many films that you can't see in the big movie theatre chains. My favorite place on Cape Cod to see a movie!"

"This theater is a historic landmark and local cultural treasure. They have a lot of hard to see foreign and alternate films. The telecast plays often seem of intetest, but good luck getting a ticket; they always seem to draw a big crowd."

"The Cape Cinema was and is my favorite movie theater. Besides Live opera from NYC and special movies it offers NT live Theater from London. So many treats in such a wonderful venue! Not to forget the many choices of snacks! May the theater continue to thrive."
