Millions * * *

I watched this film on the recommendation of a customer in the video store who was standing next to me when I picked it up. I hadn't heard anything about it, so that was sufficient endorsement to have a look. The picture on the front has a scrubed faced boy that made me think it was perhaps some of the "christian" oriented films that have popped up at the store in the past year. In fact though, this is an English film about a dad and his two sons who move from the city to a new housing development the suburbs. The youngest of the brothers makes a fort with the moving boxes in the back of the property near the train tracks. He is very spiritually focused for an 8 year old lad, and frequently has conversations with Saints and other religious figures. No wonder he believes it is God sent when a suitcase filled with cash drops out of the sky onto his fort. It is lighthearted fare, fit for family viewing...even Mormons! (Official Christian reviews rate it "better than most" but "irreverent.")
