If you are looking for a good holiday rental give the film Millions a try. Here’s a synopsis:
Starting anew after the death of their mother, 9-year-old Anthony is ever practical, while his 7-year-old brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his confusing world. When a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian’s feet, it sets the boys on the adventure of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing to do with money.
Two words of advice. First, there is one scene in which the two boys look at woman wearing a bra and make comments as would a 9-year-old and a 7-year-old boy. Now that I think about it so would a 29-year-old and 37-year-old boy.
Turn on the English sub-titles. The movie, set somewhere in England, uses the Queen’s English and you will miss some of the beginning dialogue as your ear is not yet tuned to the dialect.
It’s truly a great story. I look forward to reading your comments regarding the film.
