Wonderful

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

I took my children to see this film, and although my 9 year old son fell asleep (that was to be expected), my 14 year old daughter and I loved it. The acting is superb, with special mention of Sanjeev Bhaskar as Jack's dad and Kate McKinnon as the agent. Sanjeev is very much a "dad" hilarious in his everyday "dad-ness" and Kate McKinnon is brutally funny with her one-liners as Jack's agent. The cast on the whole is spot-on, with dry british humor in ever scene. I also liked the more mundane things that most people don't notice (like a school teacher dressing like a school teacher, not in new designer labels, and only have one pair of shoes, and not a different pair for eery scene). Although this is really a love story, it does not take the typical path to get there. This is a winner.
