thedoctor98 The script is pretty rubbish; it's something that was obviously written by high school students.However, the performances are fantastic. Every single actor puts in an amazing effort; and Emilia Jones is a standout, for her age. Worth watching just to appreciate the performers. Not the story, that's awful.

Kirpianuscus ...what you looking for. for bitter humor, off course. and for admirable performances. a film about family. and about basic truths. nothing surprising. nothing new. except the wise manner to say an easy and almost absurde story in the right way, proposing to the viewer the meeting with a lot of memories. a splendid picture of childhood. and the remind of the precise perspective about near reality of kids. short, a film who must see. for smiles. for surprises. for the forms of irony. and for the end. and sure, as husband/brother/wife / parent or child or teenager , for the impression to see a film about yourself.

xxharrison If you liked Outnumbered on TV, you'll probably like this. Trio of kids from dysfunctional London family head to Scotland for grandad's birthday. Not usually my cup of tea, but script and director get it right. The children have a believably offbeat take on reality, talking and doing as they would, and not as adults think they should. Tennant and Pike spark off each other as couple on verge of nervous break-up. Connolly is the perfect reprobate ancient. The host family exhibit a typical kind pomposity that is easy to lampoon. A relaxed pace that builds to a good comedy climax. The film steers clear of the chaos that such films sometimes court. I was pleasantly surprised. Worth watching!

annboyton The British are masters of comedy and What We Did on Our Holiday is living proof of it, from the first seconds of the film that announces "sitcom", through skillful broaching common knowledge "important life lessons" to "feel-good" ends. All of this is located in the typical context of extended dysfunctional family, but it's done in a manic pace and makes it a pleasure to watch. Entire idea is totally funny. What We Did on Our Holiday would be excellent in a form of fun mini-series. It's great that functions as a film, no matter the expected decline in a middle, and the fact it requires a considerable departure from reality. The screenwriter/director duo obviously knows how the story should go, and What We Did on Our Holiday is a very fine movie experience, nothing spectacular, but certainly comfortable.
