The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing God Bless America starting at 8 p.m. and again tomorrow at 5 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "middle-aged Frank (Joel Murray) has had it with pop culture's idiocy and rudeness. Hitting the road, he pairs up with equally disaffected teen Roxy (Tara Lynn Barr), and the 'platonic spree killers' travel cross-country striking out against reality stars, theater talkers, and anyone else who gets in their way. An uproarious, dark-than-dark comedy."
