A feel-good film, if ever there was one. Young Hayley Atwell (great) is left alone by her sister (Orla Brady) to look after the remaining unruly care home inhabitants at Christmas. She makes them mellow, of course. They are Vanessa Redgrave, Brenda Blethyn, Imelda Staunton and Joss Ackland.
A shallow film, to be sure, to be sure, but most enjoyable. Edited at a lively lick by Emma Hickox.
Best line related by dying Doreen Keogh, something like "It's time you started noticing people's actions - it's what they do, not what they say, that counts."
