Not sure how we missed this one. Julie brought it home from the video store last weekend. What's this about? [don't know] What's it rated? [not sure] Who's in it? [dunno] But the cover says that Ebert picked it as one of the year's best, so let's watch it.
And i loved it. Julie liked it. The kids all liked it. Jackson & i watched it twice.
Story: set in Manchester, England, two young brothers and their widower dad try to move on after the death of their mom/wife. The younger brother, Damien, is fond of the Christian saints, and has an active imagination matched only by his kind heart. When a bag of money "falls out of the sky", Damien and his brother tussle over what to do with it.
I won't tell you more - just watch it, or read the review below (then watch it). It would also make for a great movie for group discussions, especially among youth.
