Dean Spanley (2008)
Quirky but quite entertaining

A lovely film set in early 20th Century England with accomplished actors obviously enjoying their roles. While it's always nice to see Peter O'Toole, here he turns in a fine performance in what is, frankly, not a huge budget mega-blockbuster; and, in fact, it doesn't need to be so. Content is king and the story is well-crafted on-screen. Good script, good actors, good direction.

I think I will forever more think of Sam Neill with his nose stuck deep into a glass of wine...inhaling...and being transported to another place and time. What a howl! ;D

Perfect for the entire family. No foul language, nothing in any way inappropriate for children. A thoroughly enjoyable film.
