This is an often overlooked film in the tradition of what some call a "cosy". It combines the wit of Billy Connolly with the charm and the often-times amusingly panicked reactions of the other adult cast. The juvenile actors' performances are particularly endearing, as their characters show a combined adult insight crossed with the gentle naivety of young children in any setting. A top recommendation.

I first discovered this movie on Netflix and although I am not usually a great fan of Billy Connolly I thought I'd give this one a whirl. It has been a long time since I have laughed so hard and so long and I even enforced it upon a few visitors during the time it was listed. When Netflix removed it I bought myself a copy of the movie and a few more as gifts. I have a Scottish friend who has a marvellous sense of humour - I know she will enjoy this. Funnily enough a few weeks ago I went to the beach with my son and his family - they all trotted down to the shore and left me behind as "keeper" of their belongings. I amused myself by thinking of this movie and hoping the kids would not return and discover Grandma. The implications made me laugh out loud and are ones you will have to discover for yourself when you view the movie. So funny! I don't recommend you allow really young children to see it tho' - especially your grandchildren, it may give them ideas (and there is a bit of language early on).Read full review
