Amazon.co.uk Review
iMillions/i wears its heart on its sleeve, and it wears it well. Two boys, still grieving the death of their mother, find themselves the unwitting benefactors of a bag of bank robbery loot in the week before the United Kingdom switches its official currency to the Euro. What's a kid to do? Director Danny Boyle takes a simple premise and, with the help of Frank Cottrell Boyce's sweet, smart script, finds something special to say about the hopes everyone has for the future of a changing world. Brothers Anthony and Damian have vastly different agendas for the stash, and then have to deal not only with the money's original thief but with the disarming woman who seems to be stealing their widowed father. The film is full of quirks that work--seven-year-old Damian (an endearing Alex Etel) has private conversations with a collection of eclectic religious saints--and a technically spirited way of commingling both the scary realities and fanciful imaginings of young minds. i--Steve Wiecking, Amazon.com/i

It grows on you and wins you over July 12, 2008
I wasnt very sure about getting this DVD but I'm glad I did. Its an original feelgood movie with some moral lessons included. Sure it's whacky and offbeat at times and the storyline is a bit wobbly in places, but its heart is in the right place, and most viewers will therefore be won over in the end and will be left with a smile on their faces and a brighter outlook on life.br /br /Buy it and see.
Weird... but very watchable February 12, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is another of those movies I don't remembering ordering but I am glad it arrived. It is a typically 'British' movie. Quite slow moving and gentle but good to watch. The story is based around a young boy who 'inherits' a stash of cash from a train robbery...and whilst he and his older brother try to decide what to do with it, all sorts of weird and wonderful events happen around about.br /Quirky, funny, and at times, definitely weird. If you are in the market for a movie that is a bit different, but definitely good family entertainment, this is for you.br /
 Nice Christmas-y film January 19, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Entertaining contemporary film about two young brothers who find a quarter of a million pounds in bag thrown from a train following a robbery. Millions shows the dilemmas facing the brothers as they try to hide the loot from their father, whilst trying to come to terms with their mother's recent death.br /br /It's a heart-warming Christmas-y comedy which is nice though not especially affecting or memorable afterwards.br /

I was very impressed with Trainspotting and really enjoyed 28 Days Later and was interested to see what director, Danny Boyle, would do with a tale which appears to be at the other end of the scale - a sweet story of 2 young brothers who have recently lost their mother and who suddenly find themselves with a load of cash which appears seemingly out of the sky. This is complicated by the fact that England is about to switch to the Euro which will soon make the (sterling) cash worthless.br /br /A big chunk of the film is taken up with the 2 boys' differing approaches to getting rid of the money before the Euro deadline. The younger brother (played by Alex Etel), who sees and talks to saints, is set on giving the money to the poor, while the older brother (played by Lewis McGibbon) would rather spend the money on the more usual stuff. The latter part of the film builds the tension with the boys' father (James Nesbitt), the police and a menacing figure becoming aware of the cash. The unknown agenda of a woman who becomes involved with the boys' father is also a worry.br /br /The film is beautifully shot from the very first sequence and there is a dreamlike quality to much of it, which reminded me of films like Amelie and Edward Scissorhands (the film score also brings these films to mind although there are contemporary tracks as well) as well as previous Danny Boyle films, such as Trainspotting and 28 Days Later. Of course, the 2 young boys carry the film and play the parts to perfection with a perfect mix of innocence and cynicism. I'm not a big fan of James Nesbitt but I thought he did very well here and his northern accent is just about passable! All the adult actors gently support the children without stealing any of the limelight (although I thought the policeman was great).br /br /This is a lovely, feel-good film, full of optimisim and aspiration but not overly sickly sweet. It is nice to see England presented in such a lovely light, as Paris was in Amelie, and reminds you that it can as good a place as any to grow up in. So if it's raining and grey outside, watch this!br /br /Fantastic film - highly recommended.
A sweet well constructed film January 11, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
A sweet little film, creatively shot and imaginatively directed. Millions does not take itself too seriously and gives us many moments of humour and enjoyment. The story of two boys finding money in a bag and trying to work out what to spend it on, themselves or others. At heart the film is probably about the nature of wealth and whether it brings happiness of itself but the film never really gets that serious and therefore doesn?t really answer the question ? except in the usual ?end warm? sorts of ways. It nevertheless poses the question and is therefore thought-provoking. There is a jolt of sorts around two-thirds of the way through the film when the threat of the returning thief is made manifest. This is round about the point when you are beginning to wonder how they can possibly keep this up for another 30 mins. The second part of the film is more serious and contains standard threat motifs. In a way, you sometimes feel there are two films here ? but either way both are good and worth your time watching.
