Monmouth Arts will Sneak Peek the film Maggie’s Plan courtesy of Tom Bernard, co-chair of Sony Pictures Classics, at Bow Tie Cinema, Red Bank, at 7:30 p.m. on May 19. A reception will be held from 5:45–7:15 p.m. at Monmouth ArtSpace, 105 Monmouth St., featuring food from Runa Peruvian Cuisine, also located on Monmouth Street.
Starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Bill Hader, Maya Rudoph, Travis Fimmel and Julianne Moore and directed by Rebecca Miller, in this witty, modern, romantic comedy Gerwig portrays Maggie Hardin, a vibrant and practical 30-something New Yorker working in education, who without success in finding love, decides now is the time to have a child on her own. But when she meets John Harding (Ethan Hawke), an anthropology professor and struggling novelist, Maggie falls in love for the first time, and adjusts her plans for motherhood. Complicating matters, John is in an unhappy marriage with Georgette Harding (Julianne Moore), an ambitious academic who is driven by her work. With some help from Maggie’s eccentric and hilarious best friends, married couple Tony (Bill Hader) and Felicia (Maya Rudolph), Maggie sets in motion a new plan that intertwines their lives and connects them in surprising and humorous ways. Maggie learns that sometimes destiny should be left to its own devices.
