Agreed! It's definitely worth a watch - though, as I alluded to in my review, I found it to be quite a confronting look at old age. There was a girl behind me in the screening just bawling her eyes out!
That's not to say there aren't a lot of laughs, but I'd suggest it's a good film to watch on DVD (just in case tissues are required!).
Freelance writer, film critic and shameless history nerd. This site has become something of an archive for my published scratchings - for publications including Limelight Magazine, The Vine, The Big Issue, Mornings on 702 ABC Sydney as well as the Critics' Forum on Richard Glover's Drive, and Showtime's The Movie Club - as well as the odd blogging flight of fancy. So, welcome to my brand of cinephilia: everything from Antonioni to Zoolander.

Oh I saw the trailer for this last night. I do love Michael Caine and that little boy was amazing in Son of Rambow.
