This movie doesn't claim to be something that it's not so i don't know what it has got so much flack. You don't go to see what is clearly a feel good Christmas movie and expect deep dimensional characters and a complex, thrilling plot. But at this time of year a feel good movie that tugs at your heart strings is welcomed. I love a serious drama but there is a place for this type of movie too. It was heartwarming, funny and thought provoking. I wasn't expecting the ending so it got me thinking. Emelia Clarke and Henry Golding are great in it. Emma Thomson's yugoslavian accent was quite impressive and it's nice to acknowledge politics without going into it so heavily, just showing its impact on people's lives and their children's lives.

It's 100% worth a watch so ignore the critics and if you're a George Michael fan you'll flipping love it get yourself to the cinema how.

Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in this movie. He is 100% believable and charming as the eccentric Burt Munro.

I didn't expect much from this movie but it surpassed my expectations and I was actually really moved by it. Based on a true story it is funny, fascinating and heartbreaking. It really makes you believe in the power of a dream and living life to the full,

Think I may add Burt Munro to my '5 people you'd invite to a dinner party' list!
