Movie #193 "How About You" - what an adorable film, and what the plot summary doesn't include is that the four mischievous people include Imelda Staunton, Vanessa Redgrave, Brenda Fricker and Josh Ackland, all more than competent character actors that make the film delightful to watch. I liked it a lot! Beautiful photography and lots of heart here. It takes place mostly during the Christmas holidays, and it's about all kinds of things: aging, people's worth in life, what makes a family, how to be friends to others, how to approach life. The young girl has a definite effect on these people, and they, in turn, teach her a thing or two. Very charming and I recommend this delightful film.

How About You
(2007) NR
When the manager of a retirement home in the Irish countryside asks her younger sister, Ellie (Hayley Atwell), to run the facility during the holidays, four mischievous residents take advantage of the power vacuum and turn the place upside down. As Ellie learns to take charge, the residents also come to terms with their own troubles. Anthony Byrne directs this heartwarming comedy-drama co-starring Joss Ackland and Vanessa Redgrave.
