Friday 4/3, Saturday 4/4 and Sunday 4/5 showtimes are available and tickets will be at will call. Bring your I.D.

Please fill out the form with your name / email address / theater / showtime in the body of the message.

Based on the memoir One Train Later by guitarist Andy Summers, Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving the Police tells of the rise of The Police. From chance encounters with Copeland and Sting, through the band’s break up, Summers shares photos and memories as they prepare for their long-anticipated 2007 Reunion Tour.

The Police are a six-time Grammy Award winning rock group that changed the face of music in the 1980’s and would eventually be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Rolling Stone and VH1 have repeatedly championed them amongst their lists of the Greatest Artists of All Time, with Andy Summers being singled out as one of the 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time. Their still iconic hits include “Roxanne,” “Message In a Bottle” (Summers’ personal favorite of their songs), “Every Breath You Take,” and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.”

This meditative documentary emphasizes the artist’s struggle, from struggling to support the dream through the formation of the group, all the way to The Police’s chart topping days and subsequent break-up, making for a great educational tool for those aspiring musicians and filmmakers, as it dives deep into the ego, luck and synchronicity that it took to become legends.

Laemmle Royal is located at 11523 Santa Monica Blvd. West L.A., CA 90025 (Showtimes: 12:45, 3pm, 520pm)

Laemmle Noho 7 Is located at 5240 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601 (Showtimes: 1:20)
