Millions

millions_main

A young British boy lives in an imaginary world most of the time and can’t believe it when he really finds a bag filled with millions that has fallen from the sky.

This movie is directed by Danny Boyle that also directed Trainspotting and 28 Days. There is nothing gross or scary about this movie though.

It is a nice PG movie about a boy finding tons of money that he believes came from God. He’s an odd little boy that is dealing with the death of his mother almost a year ago. His father has just moved him (9 years old) and his older brother (11 years old) into a new house in the suburbs to really start over after her death. He’s obsessed with saints and can list off any saint, the years they lived and what they did to become a saint.

The movie’s main plot is about what he does with the money with his brother while trying to hide it from their father so it doesn’t get taxed. There are also bits about him dealing with his mother’s death and moving on with life. And, of course, there are greater things than money.

None of that is too surprising and really nothing new, but the movie was still very sweet to watch. Also, the child actor playing the main character was awesome. He made the movie. There were also little funny bits thrown here and there in the movie that made it move along nicely.

It was a nice, sweet fun movie.

Grade: B+
