ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

kikkapi20 Millions begins with the kind of colorful fantasy sequence that lent sparky life to Boyle films like Trainspotting and The Beach, and it continues with an appallingly funny segment in which 9-year-old McGibbon teaches his 7-year-old brother Etel that by mentioning their mother's recent death, they can extort all manner of gifts from guilty, uncomfortable adults. (When the moralistic Etel asks if this is "completely honest," McGibbon bitterly retorts, "Completely dead, isn't she?") But the film doesn't hit its stride until a sack of money falls from the sky onto Etel's head. After counting the loot, which comes to more than 200,000 pounds, McGibbon insists that they keep it secret, lest the government demand a cut, but he nonetheless proceeds to purchase high-tech toys, buy himself a cadre of followers at his new school, and start looking into real estate. Meanwhile, the more religious Etel clumsily attempts to share his bounty with the poor. With the mandatory changeover from pounds to euros fast approaching, the boys have to spend the money before it becomes worthless, but its previous owner is operating on the same schedule, and his ruthless efforts to retrieve the cash throw a threatening note into what's otherwise a sweet, almost-straight-faced family drama. Millions is a very special and moving film, with a superb staff. Watch it!

runamokprods A quirky, fun and ultimately very moving 'family' film (although way more grown up than that tag usually implies). Two young brothers from a working class Irish family find a bag of cash. One wants to spend it, invest it, use it, but the other feels compelled to follow the lead of the saints and give it to the poor. A film with a lovely sense of humor, of family and of the way a kid sees the world. It has a few sticky-sweet moments, but they're much more than made up for by the very real moments of tension, humanity, loss, humor and emotion, Terrific performances all around, and given high energy by the always entertaining, wildly talented Danny Boyle. A film with the true spirit of Christmas, even if it's not a 'Christmas film'.

treeline1 As the story opens, we meet brothers Damian and Anthony, who have just lost their mother. The family moves to a new house to begin life without her, and Damian finds a big bag full of cash. This sounds like a dream come true, but in two weeks' time, England will switch to Euros and the Pound will be worthless. The boys have to come up with creative ways to spend the money (before a very scary man finds it and them).This is a sweet and uplifting movie and I enjoyed it a lot. Damian and Anthony are likable and real, cute without being cutesy. Danny Boyle directed the 2004 film and gave it a just the right amount of heart with a clever script. Damian is an innocent, religious little boy who often "sees" and talks to various saints; these scenes are witty and not disrespectful.This is a warm film the whole family will enjoy and it made me wonder what I would do with a bagful of cash.

kai ringler thought that this was a great human feel good story. those two little boys did a remarkable job with it, the story goes like this,, a boy playing outside his house happens to get lucky when a bag is tossed out of a train,, unbeknownst to him at first it has over a quarter million pounds in it, well at first he doesn't know what to do with it, so he shows it to his older brother, then they come up with a few ideas for the money, one being to give away some of the money to the poor.. along the way the meet several characters,, "saints" , like Francis of Assisi, and so on and so forth, you see their mother is dead so they are really trying to find their mother, but as the movie goes on having all of this money leads to chaos and more problems for the boys, as they start getting people following them and pretending to be their friends,, soon they realize that having all of this money does more harm than good,, all in all i liked this movie very much,, i was surprised to find out that Danny Boyle from 28 days later had directed this one,, congratulations Danny on a job well done.
