Over 170 club members attended the sneak screening at Northwich's Regal Cinema - to see Jim Carrey's Oscar-tipped new comedy come to life.

"The day was a resounding success," said cinema manager Karl Woods.

"And we were very pleased to secure a really top-class new film, way ahead of its release date, for this first event in the new Movie Club calendar.

"We're hoping to lay on similar events, just as big, in the coming months."
