The FiFi Report 099

Millions …Directed by Danny Boyle ( Trainspotting) Rated PG (profanity, children in peril, mild sensuality)
The Plot: A fantastical story of a little British boy and the large sack of cash that literally drops onto him from the sky. He is then visited by ghosts of famous saints. Nuf said.
Who: James Nesbitt, Lewis McGibbon. Alex Etel. who?
Acting: mmm debatable. The youngest brother is fantastic. The rest of the cast is pretty bad.
Photography:It’s like a bad imitation of a John Irving movie, a bit of fantasy but it’s cringe worthy. Yawn
Interiors: Not worth mentioning
Blood’n’ guts: only in the trailers beforehand.
Car chases: I was wishing we had one to make it interesting.
Smooches: I was wishing we had one to make it interesting.
Waterproof mascara? I wish I had some to make it interesting
Tom Cruise sighting. If only.
When Harry met Sally romance Richter scale: Ditto
Best review: “Precocious children discussing morality with saints aren’t nearly as much fun as Ewan McGregor being nailed to the floor with a butcher knife.” FREEZE DRIED MOVIES.
“Boyle confuses whimsy with gas.” CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
“Give Boyce and Boyle credit for daring to be strange, but this enchilada is so overstuffed, it’s falling apart” New York Post.
Rename it: moneyspotting or The Saint.
See it or donate to the Prada bag/save Katie fund? Who cares if it’s made for children, this movie is boring. It seemed to get better when I started to think about Prada bags. Now that was fun. Choose life (and shopping)
