I was privy to seeing the premiere of Arnold's Park at Arnold's Park in Iowa. It is a movie that many can enjoy, from the 13 year-old girls to my 60'ish year-old mother.
I helped to save the park in 1999 when it was threatened with demolition to make way for condo's & such. And it was nice to see a movie set there.
As for the story, if you were ever one of those that got picked on in school, you can relate to this one.
Picked on by his schoolmates, Francis Larson is the whipping boy for all of the 'cool kids' and others that ridicule & make fun of about his sloth-like appearance & demeanor. One of his female classmates that he openly had a crush on is found dead from drowning in Lake Okoboji.
Francis is a suspect of the murder & thusly found guilty, sent to prison, and commits suicide from the shame of what he has gotten into.
Or did he?
I cannot go any further as to not spoil your viewing.
Just trust me. The beginning maybe slow, but things will pick up & you will enjoy attempting to figure out . . .
Who did kill Barbara Stratton? You will all have fun attempting to figure that one out thanks to the writer Jim Kreitel, a screenwriter from Sioux Falls, SD. He created a story with many twists & turns to make the viewer wonder who is the guilty one, and suspect everyone.
As this is his first movie produced, I would say I was more than very impressed. It looks like this guy may have great potential to be someone to be reckoned with in the future. As well as proof to other burgeoning writers who are not from the coast{s} or metro areas, that you can obtain your dreams of professional writing. If you keep at it, it can happen if you follow your dream.
In summery: This is an overall fun movie
