Five Children and It.
27 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
David (Matthew Goode) is overly reasonable and divorced. His daughter Ros (Teddie-Rose Malleson-Allen) is the main character. She wishes her parents were back together. Her brother (Billy Jenkins) plays video games and barfs a lot. "So one day when this lady met this fellow." The lady is Alice (Paula Patton) a single mom from America. Her daughter Smash (Ashley Aufderheide ) is rebellious and wants to live with her father in Seychelles. She loathes living in a nation where people eat mushy peas. Her sister (Ellie-Mae Siame ) repeats things she shouldn't.

The families siblings meet for the first time on a holiday and do not get a long. They meet a creature on the beach who looks like a Lorax or baby Grinch and sounds like Michael Caine. He grants wishes that can last only one day. The kids go on daily adventures with consequences.

It was a fun film with the expected ending. It is about kids learning to move on after their parents break up.
