Bad Day to Go Fishing

Jacob van Oppen was once known as “the strongest man on earth,” but is now a washed-up alcoholic. He and his crafty manager, Orsini, travel to small towns in South American, staging bogus wrestling matches to make a living. When this oddball duo arrives in the unassuming village of Santa Maria, business really takes off.  The ever-resourceful Orsini is sure he can find the right opponent to throw the fight, but fishing in Santa Maria yields a bigger catch than he’d hoped for. Movies at Midway, May 4th, 7 p.m.
