The child actors steal the show here, as does the grandad, played by Billy Connolly. The couple? Not so much. Still, a decent little film.

An excellent heartwarming black comedy executed by brilliant actors and backed by well-detailed script and directors. Adults's common problem solved by children through their eyes. Wish there were more movies like this. First time ever l…

What a wonderful way children look at death. Actually hysterical!

Children are more aware and thoughtful on what is happening to their family than the grownups think. Fun adventure for the kids with real lessons on marital relationships and advice on parenting.

The kids were the real actors. Some surprises, and Viking trivia.

Whenever I can't find anything to watch, this is one of the films I turn to. From the very beginning, with a hassled and harried David Tennant and Rosamund Pike trying to corral their three children into the car for a road trip to see…

Funny! Lives up to the cover description of a rollicking good time, as a family in disarray road trips to Scotland for their grandfather's 75th birthday, excellently played by Billy Connolly in both a kindly and cantankerous manner. The…

Family dramedy that may play better on television than in a theatre. A patriarch is dying of cancer (he looks completely fine, but he has movie cancer, see) and the grandchildren can't be told yet, because reasons. The marriage of one of…

Mom, dad and kids take a vacation in Scotland. Mom and dad aren't getting along well and have told the kids it's a secret. But as we know, kids and secrets just don't go together well.

It was a bit more depressing than I was hoping for lol, as it looks super lighthearted on the cover. Overall still an okay movie, but not a good date night movie.

I was highly skeptical after reading earlier comments, but took a flyer on this one. Turns out to be one of the best family movies I've seen in years. It took a few minutes to begin to embrace the storyline, but when they got to Scotland…

Don't mind the title or the cover, just go ahead and watch the movie. You'll be surprised!

This movie caught my eye because it stars David Tennant, a favourite of mine. I found it to be a lovely movie that drew me up in the story and kept my interest right through, with some laughs along the way as well as poignancy. Good…

Not sure exactly what I expected, but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the story. A comedy, no, but lighter moments, yes, especially with the children as they deal with their wise and not-so-easily-fooled grandfather. A delightful…

interesting comedy engaging the subjects of infidelity, divorce, death, materialism, family loyalty and living well. worth the watch especially if you like Scotland.

Rated 1/10. I find it hard to believe that this movie was billed as a comedy. The back of the DVD box states, "Hilarious and uplifting comedy". It was neither, but a depressing, poorly told show about inept parents with precocious brats,…

Such a great little movie! Highly recommend.

Don't be put of by the title of this film, that sounds like just another throw-away Hollywood style family comedy with the usual, predictable plot. This one is worthwhile. If you're a fan of Billy Connelly already, then don't let the…

Absolutely crazy, funny and totally delightful movie! The children were amazing, grandpa was a delight, the adults zany, dysfunctional and a joy to watch. Loved this movie!

Zany, sometimes very unrealistic...First of all, I love David T, enjoy Billy C and this is fantastic Scottish landscape and accent so use subtitles for those don't understand Glaswegian or any Scot tongue. The kids are daring wee darlings…
