A British boy with an enormous forehead and a deceased mother moves into a new housing development with his world-wiser older brother and embittered father. Not one, but two unlikely devices come along to kick the plot forward as (1) saints start jumping out of the boy's book and conversing with him and (2) a bag with hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling drops from the sky and crushes the boy's clubhouse. With only a few weeks to dispose of the money before England switches to the Euro, the boy seeks advice from the saints as trouble closes in.

It had its moments, ("It's not suspicious...it's unusual.") and the end scene with the mother near the tracks pulls at the heart strings...but overall, it didn't do it for me. I thought the movie could have been a lot better considering the material they had to work with.

Funny thing is that it had so many of the elements of In America --- two rascally chariming kids with enormous foreheads and contrasting personalities, a father in need of redemption from a family tragedy, a new home, a menace in the shadows, and magic.

This movie was playing on an airplane but I wasn't listening and every time I looked up some kind of weird visual effect was happening. Actually, it looked weird enough that I might have liked it.
