If you liked Outnumbered on TV, you'll probably like this. Trio of kids from dysfunctional London family head to Scotland for grandad's birthday. Not usually my cup of tea, but script and director get it right. The children have a believably offbeat take on reality, talking and doing as they would, and not as adults think they should. Tennant and Pike spark off each other as couple on verge of nervous break-up. Connolly is the perfect reprobate ancient. The host family exhibit a typical kind pomposity that is easy to lampoon. A relaxed pace that builds to a good comedy climax. The film steers clear of the chaos that such films sometimes court. I was pleasantly surprised. Worth watching!
