Eward McGregor has a certain freshness and vitality that one cannot ignore. Every scene he's in, he seems to have that smirk that symbolizes a thinking man. Due to his charm, I was able to follow the story with ease and interest. Albert Finney is heartbreaking as the father that has stories for any occassion.
