Harriet the Spy

Starring: Michelle Trachtenberg, Rosie O’Donnell, Vanessa Lee Chester, Gregory Smith, J. Smith-Cameron, Robert Joy

Harriet may only be in the sixth grade, but she’s already found her calling: to be a spy. In a private journal she takes everywhere, Harriet records suspicious activity and keeps a running list of observations on virtually everyone she knows. It seems harmless enough until, one day, someone finds the journal and exposes Harriet’s critical thoughts about her classmates. Suddenly, even her best friends are against her, and Harriet resolves to take revenge.

Before Harriet the Spy, we’ll be running the Hey Arnold! short that ran before the film during its original theatrical run. Also on 35mm!
