This year's movie is the family film, Wonder. Wonder is inspired by true events and is based on a New York Times bestseller. It tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman. Born with facial differences that, up to now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance. Auggie’s extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
The film stars Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin and Jacob Tremblay as Auggie. The film is rated PG for thematic elements, including bullying.
