Tom and Emma get good marks

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2014)

This was not my kind of movie, but as a married man of many years you have to let your wife pick a movie to watch before you choose yours. My Wife chose Saving Mr. Banks, I got 2 hours of silence from her, and nearly a teardrop every now and then. I watched Mary Poppins when I was a youngster and thought it was crap. That has nothing to do with Dick Van Dyke and his accent, I was a teenager before film critics lamented on how bad it was that I realized, he was an American doing a cockney accent. As a child you do not understand dialects, only language. you either understand what someone says or you do not. Saving Mr Banks, kept my wife amused for the whole movie as she really enjoyed it, as for myself I too was quiet all through the movie, I kept my mouth shut and just watched a good movie with some very good performances, by the cast. Good story. Well acted. Good movie.
