SYNOPSIS: Two brothers find a satchel filled with British pounds, but with the country just days away from switching to the Euro, they must quickly find a way to spend and share the wealth. Trouble is, Damian wants to give to the poor, while Anthony aims to live it up. But then the source of the found money tries to get it back. The two boys are both mourning the recent death of their mother in different ways as well.

COMMENTS: Yet another SLOW starting movie. If you stick with it you will be soooo richly rewarded almost beyond words. What a special film. I read where at the London Film Festival this film was given a five-minute standing ovation at the end. I can see why. My favorite quote came at the end of the movie. If you watch it you will probably have no trouble figuring out what it is. Talk about a feel good movie. This one has a PG rating and can be seen by the entire family.
