"What We Did On Our Holiday"

A warring couple on the brink of divorce, making the lengthy trip to Scotland for a 75th birthday party. The kids so used to seeing their parants spar verbally with each other. But appearances must be maintained, especially for the Birthday boy, Gordie (Billy Connolly) especially as he is dying of Cancer.
Once they eventually arrive in the Highlands, Brotherly rivalry begins between Doug (Tennant) and Gavin (Miller). This is offset by much humour from the honesty of the children. Grand-Dad tries to show the elder grandchild not to to take life so seriously.
The stress of organising the big event is taking its toll, on the whole family. So a much needed trip to the beach is called for by the children, and Grand-Dad. A trip they will never forget.

The script is wonderfully written by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, who also Directed the film, so given their track record, you know that the movie is in save hands.
Performances are all very, but especially from Connelly and Tennant. The three juvenile are all played wonderfully too, especially the youngest. A delight to watch.

A nice little movie, entertaining and a good way to spend a couple of hours.......7 out of 10
