The Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks presents presents Master Pancake Theater: THE NOTEBOOK.

Master Pancake Theater is part of the Alamo tradition of pairing bad movies with live comedy (and beer)! It's smart, fast, and bust-a-gut funny. Voted BEST COMEDY TROUPE twice by the readers of the Austin Chronicle (2008, 2009), Master Pancake features slacker wise-cracker John Erler, his partner Joe Parsons, and a rotating band of Austin's funniest comics going up against the worst that Hollywood has to offer.

THE NOTEBOOK
Director Nick Cassavetes
Year 2004
Rating R
Run Time 120min

This November, Master Pancake whips out their giant Sharpie and scribbles all over THE NOTEBOOK, the romantic movie sensation of the decade that has left more boyfriends with moist shoulders than a gigantic army of shoulders caught in a rainstorm.

James Garner plays Noah, who narrates the story-within-the-story to his lady friend Allie, who has Alzheimer's (for the memory-impaired, the writer has offered a mnemonic device you’ll never forget: Allie has Alzheimer’s). Ryan Gosling plays the young hero of the story, who takes one gander at Rachel McAdams and his goose is cooked.

By the end of the movie there won’t be a dry shoulder in the house. Come on out, two by two, and see how Noah navigates this flood of tears as Master Pancake dives into the most sentimental movie ever made! (John)
