Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife and kids, Neal (Steve Martin) Page's flight is rerouted to Kansas because of a freak snowstorm. His sanity begins to fray as he is forced to bunk up with talkative shower curtain salesman Del Griffith (John Candy). Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination. Bonus: Sitting in a darkened theater with your family pre-Thanksgiving will offer a welcome respite from arguing about politics.

Come early for a pre-movie set of toe-tapping, two-tone tunes from Meatraffle SKA!

Meatraffle SKA’s sets are a tasty mix of first-wave Ska, Rock Steady, Afrobeat and a few little treats tossed in for good measure! Featuring the vocals and guitar work of Guy Messenger and Reid Rejsa, balanced with some of the finest horns in the Twin Cities. Be ready to dance!    

 Featuring: 
Guy Messenger (guitar, vocals) 
Greg Sullivan (sax, vocals) 
Reid Rejsa (guitar) 
Joel Chechik (bass) 
Leighton Tuenge (Trumpet) 
John Gwinn (drums) 
Tony Beaderstadt (Trombone)
