This was a very welcome and pleasant surprise
Throwback to the 80s and 90s era of good writing, good characters and great cast, rather than the exec driven crap the dominates cinema today.
A movie about life and respect for the elder, wiser generations, which is all but lost just now.
Lovely family film.
