7/10
A thoroughly entertaining film!
11 January 2019
Right, so this film has David Tennant in it. Wait, you need more?

Alrighty. It is great testament to the rest of the cast that this talented actor in no way stands out and above the others; everyone does a fantastic job. Even the children (I hardly ever enjoy children in films!)

This film is not beautiful. It is not thrilling. It is not particularly original, has nothing much to say about social issues of the day and does not include a plot that twists and turns with surprises. So, why have I given it a 7? In short, it is amusing (with some full-on funny moments - I'm thinking of the mention of a taser in particular), endearing and entertaining. Characters are interesting and developed, relationships are fully formed and the story explores them well.

So, a very 'British film'. Strong on character, endearing and not at all spectacular or gratuitous. Fabby!
