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.

   Do they show this movie at Hooters? I’ve started a new ministry.
   Hopefully this won’t effect my status with mvnhoazg.

   Always looking for a good movie as they are more and more difficult to find! Thanks for the tip. I’ll let you know whether or not we thought it was hnviuf.

   I’m looking forward to it. Of course, we still haven’t seen Narnia. The 4-year-old is REALLY cramping our style.

   I love him but sometimes he’s a huge pain in the jzapchz!

   Steve, that’s how we ended up watching Millions. We had planned on going to the theatre to watch Narnia and then I did the math. It looked something like this:

   $9.75 per 2 adults = $19.50
   $7.00 per 2 children = $14.00

   So, be careful I’m going to attempt advanced mathematics, $30 without snacks — I just can’t!

   If we spent all that money we couldn’t afford the ljojhbh our kids needed for school.

   We will wait and buy Narnia on DVD on watch it on the big screen in our basement.
