When will they use actors with real English/Irish/Scottish etc accents rather than force an actor to create this awful imitation of a posh English accent. It may be acceptable to US audiences but it is really off putting and a bit condescending. Not a bad wee film though.

I've had to fast forward parts of this. I love Christmas films, the cheesier the better but this one. Oh dear. The two leads at at the bad but as for the rest. The most stilted awkward acting I've seen in a long time. Even Am Dram can be better.

A fabulous film from an up and coming young team. From director, John McPhail, producers Lauren Lamarr and Andrew Lanni, up and coming actors Tyler Collins and Lucy Jane Quinlan along with some older well kent faces and not so well kent, we have a thoroughly enjoyable and charming film. Following the story of a young man mourning the loss of his grandfather as he works threw his loss helping in the care home that had looked after him. Here we meet an assortment of very individual characters determined to buck the system and book it they do. Not quite One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest but much more gentle and loving. It is beautifully filmed both indoors and in some of Scotland's memorable scenery. I won't say much more about the plot except to add, watch it and be entranced and entertained by the film and its characters. You will not be disappointed. To add, it is all backed up by a lovely score, most of it penned by the lead character, Tyler Collins. You will not be disappointed unless you have a heart of stone.
