Fall family movie night in Cranford: 'Home'

Plan to head to Hanson Park in Cranford with blankets and snacks on Friday, Oct. 2 when the movie "Home," featuring the voices of Rihanna and Jim Parsons, will be shown under the stars.

In "Home," space aliens called the Boov conquer Earth and relocate the human population. One little girl, Tip (Rihanna), manages to hide from the aliens is left behind. When Tip meets a fugitive Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons), there's mutual distrust. However, Oh is not like his comrades; he craves friendship and fun. As their distrust fades, they set out together to find Tip's mom. The 94-minute movie is rated PG for mild action and rude humor.

Hanson Park is at 38 Springfield Ave. in Cranford, and the movie will begin at dusk, about 7 p.m. In addition to the feature presentation, there will be raffles, prizes, popcorn, refreshments and fun for the entire family.

Movies Under the Stars is presented by Hanson Park Conservancy and Spencer Savings Bank.  For more information on the Hanson Park Conservancy please visit HansonParkConservancy.com, or like the organization on Facebook.
