Plot Summary: Danny Boyle ("28 Days Later," "Trainspotting") once again reinvents the cinematic experience with a heartwarming story of two little boys, faith, miracles... and lots of money. Starting anew after the death of their mother, 9-year-old Anthony is ever practical, while his 7-year-old brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his confusing world. When a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian's feet, it sets the boys on the adventure of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing to do with money.

I just watched it. This was much deeper than I was expecting. When I read the plot, it sounded like a couple of kids trying to spend a bunch of money. However, there is much much more to the story. It’s a good movie for both adults and kids, but some of it might go over the head of younger kids.

The roomie and I watched this the other night. Pretty good movie. A nice feel good tale.

I started to watch it on cable the other day, but the wife's ADD kicked in and I wound up turning. I'll rent it for me.

Great little movie.

It helps that Danny Boyle is one of my favorite current directors. Can't wait for Sunshine.
