Aw, what a charming movie ... :-)
Click to viewI borrowed this "Millions" DVD from the library. My favorite part of it is how the little boy Damian keeps seeing and speaking with saints after his mother's death and subsequent move to a new house. Here's a more official description:
"Millions" (2005): Starting anew after the death of their mother, 9-year-old Anthony is ever practical, while his 7-year-old brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his confusing world. When a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian’s feet, it sets the boys on the adventure of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing to do with money.
This leads me to a question for my UK sisters. In the movie, the boys receive this money just prior to the changeover from pounds to euros. They keep saying they have to either give it away or spend it before the "changeover" or the notes will be useless. Um, but you guys still use pounds, correct? Maybe that was part of the "artistic license" of the movie script. Edumacate me. :D
