You can watch it anytime this weekend by going to: www.filmraise.com. It is legal to watch it on your electronic device(s) as the producers want to reach as many people as possible.
The only thing they ask of you is to choose a charity, and money will be donated -in your honor- to the charity of your choice. Then, enjoy and watch the movie.
Enjoy the weekend.
