"God
doesn't rob banks, all right? God does not rob banks." –
Damian Cunningham
Why watch this?
Sometimes it's fun to watch British youngsters in a unique
situation.
Plot Summary:
Seven-year-old Damian finds a duffel bag stuffed with money that
seemingly falls from the sky. He believes it's a gift from God
and wants to use it for good, while his older brother Anthony
desires to spend it on personal luxuries. The brothers face a
moral dilemma and a race against time, as the money's value is
about to change and its mysterious origins attract unwanted
attention.
Dad's Preview:
Two British children, Alex and Lewis, suddenly find themselves
in possession of a large duffle bag of cash. A LOT of cash. This
funny and touching story goes through what happens next, who
they tell, and what they eventually do with the money. To add some flair,
young Alex often communes
with dead Saints. Yea, kinda like
The Sixth Sense
(1999), but not scary at all. This film is delightful on so
many levels.
