Based on Laura Esquivel's beloved novel, Like Water for Chocolate is a lush and magical story of love, family, tradition, and forbidden desire. Tita is a young woman whose emotions become mysteriously infused into the food she prepares, creating dishes capable of affecting everyone who tastes them.
Romantic, funny, sensual, and filled with magical realism, Like Water for Chocolate is a feast for the eyes as well as the imagination—and the perfect film for a Dinner and a Movie experience.

Join Be Mighty and the Ron Robinson Theater for "Dinner and a Movie" this September in honor of Hunger Action Month. In Arkansas, hunger affects families in every corner of the state, with nearly 1 in 5 Arkansans experiencing food insecurity and many children relying on school and community meal programs throughout the year. Hunger Action Month is an opportunity for communities to come together to raise awareness, share resources, and celebrate the power of food to bring people together.
In this special movie series, we are serving up a delicious twist. Each movie in the series is paired with a recipe featured on screen, bringing a little movie magic from the theater straight to your kitchen. The first twenty-five movie goers (one recipe kit per household) will receive a free recipe kit complete with all the ingredients needed to recreate the film-inspired meal at home. So grab some popcorn, enjoy a great movie, and leave with everything you need to bring a piece of the story home to share.
This is a FREE EVENT. Come enjoy a take-home dinner, a great movie, and a night at Ron Robinson Theater!
