This film should be available for all to see

I was lucky enough to see Papadopoulos & Sons at a screening in London. I didn't know what to expect but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It made me laugh and cry because I developed a real emotional attachment to the family involved. Brilliantly written, directed, cast and acted; I cannot fault it.

Although the subject matter is particularly relevant in this financial climate, it would still be enjoyable and something anyone could relate to at any time.

All I can say is if you get the opportunity to see this film you should grab it. I hope Papa & Sons gets the success it deserves - after all 'Success is the joy you feel'
