This one's directed by Danny Boyle who did Trainspotting and 28 Days Later (Silk's favorite). This time around he's doing a family-type movie.

After a boy's mother dies, he, his father and brother move into a new house. The boy builds a little hideaway out of cardboard boxes by a train track. One day he's talking to the ghost of Saint Francis of Assisi (don't ask) and a bag with thousands of Pounds lands on his fort. The boy shows the money to his ridiculously greedy brother and he's talked into splitting the dough. The boy would rather give the money away to charity while the brother would rather spend it, invest it, make more, etc.

Things are going swimmingly until the owner of the money returns and wants it back. A scary lad, he is. And then shit breaks down.

While the movie had it's charms, ultimately I found it rather dumb. It's a great film to let your imagination run wild in but otherwise it's just cheesy and contrived.

Not Recommended.
