Our summer Movie Monday series kicks off with Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson leading an all-star cast in The Sheep Detectives—a charming new mystery unlike any other, filled with heart, intrigue, and, of course, sheep.
Synopsis:
In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.
The Sheep Detectives currently sits with a 95% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with critics raving:
“Like any good murder mystery movie, the real fun lies in watching the performances and taking the overall journey. “The Sheep Detective” scores big on both of those counts. This is one of the most enjoyable movies of the year”. – Boston Globe
“Funny when it needs to be. Dramatic when it needs to be and constantly keeps you guessing about the crime at hand. Are family films supposed to be this good?” – Subculture Entertainment
Make your way baaaaack to the Chester Playhouse for The Sheep Detectives on Monday, July 6th!
