TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
France, (subtitles), 2023, Comedy
104 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Louane Emera, Michel Blanc.
Marie is a young woman who juggles a range of odd jobs to support herself and her father. Despite the precariousness of her income, Marie maintains an positive outlook on life.
But one night, her shift at a café has a string of bad events and she's fired. On top of that, Marie gets fined after a complaint is filed.
In court, Marie begs the judge to waive the fine due to her circumstances. But the Judge refuses to believe her “I’m poor, it’s too late for me” excuse.
Instead, he offers Marie a job as his driver to help her get back on track. It's a chance of a fresh start for Marie and, as she and the judge begin to spend time together and share their stories, she realises there are things a rich and privileged judge can learn about life too.
"A heart-warming film about realising your full potential." - MM reviews

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
