This a funny and thought provoking film.  It's hilarious and sweet.  The acting is superb and it captures that "tongue in cheek" English sense of humor.  The film moves and leaves u wishing it was longer.

Great entertainment for light hearted viewing.  Some plot twitsts, both expteded and unexpected.  The characters were fun and the wrap up of the series was appropriate :-)

Simply fun and some very pleasant surprises. Are thse the greatest SF TV shows ever and greatest verions. Hardly. But it's a lot of fun if you simply let go and have a good time. The discovery for me of Capt. Z-Ro was almost alone enough to justify the price. So chill out and have fun with this. It ain't Shakespeare in Space.

Enjoyable film featuring great actors and breathtaking cinematography and scenery. Plenty of well-written humor. However, felt a bit "feel-good" and superficial. Touched somewhat on the realities of aging and retirement, including outsourcing, financial constraints, isolation, and loneliness. Overall a nice relaxing entertainment.

I enjoyed this, though not as much as the first book in the series. It's an excellent way to spend an afternoon and evening.

Sometimes, after a hard day, I just want to sit back and read (or watch) something  entertaining and simpe. This is just such a book, simple, uncomplicated light entertainment. The story whips along at a good pace, a comic romp with some genuine laugh out loud moments and engaging, it somewhat simple characters. On the whole it made for a few hours of escapist fun. Looking forward to the next instalment.

To put it plainly, this is a wonderfully entertaining show. You have got to remember that this not a period perfect window into historical life, nor is it a lesson in the finer points of medieval syntax. This show is just a good bit of entertainment and something that if you sit back and actually relax while watching, you will end up enjoying.
My best words of advice for this show or any other form of entertainment for that matter is to not take things too seriously and don't go into it with expectations of how good or bad it is going to be. As with all television shows they take a little dramatic license here and there, but so do most of us when we are using our imaginations or day dreaming. Keep an open mind and for goodness sake please have a sense of humor about it all, because I bet if you watched it...actually watched it...giving yourself a few episodes to really begin feeling out the characters; you would find this show to be a good bit of fun, just like it is meant to be.

I won't go into the storyline; I'm sure there are several other reviewers who might want to elaborate on the plot, performances, etc.  I'll just stick to the fact that we really enjoyed this film and would recommend the DVD to anyone who likes to watch movies with their kids (even repeat viewings).

I took my family to see this movie without knowing much about it and - Wow! What a delight.  In today's culture, it's quite difficult to find entertainment that appeals to both adults and kids.

The Last Mimzy did a great job of carrying us through a roller-coaster of emotions while unfolding an interesting, fun, and memorable storyline.  The special effects are good and the interaction between characters was enjoyable.  It is apparent that special attention and care went into the production of this film.

Looking forward to the arrival of our DVD!

Enjoy  :-)

I thought this movie was very entertaining.  Not too long and not too short.  Just enough to hold your attention.  A good movie for a lazy afternoon.

Great vacation read - fun and moves quickly, but doesn't require deep concentration.

Here's a movie to watch after a long, hard day when you're in the mood for something pleasantly uplifting that doesn't demand too much.
  Frank loses his job in a Glasgow shipyard and finds himself at a loss. He decides to swim the English Channel. Of course, Frank has his problems. He's not a very communicative man -- he and his wife barely speak. He's alienated from his son whom he blames for the death of another child many years before.
  But with the help of his motely chums (the usual collection of lovable eccentrics without which no British film is complete) Frank confronts his ghosts, mends his life and accomplishes his dream.
  Totally predictable but well-acted, this is a nice enough way to spend an evening. More than that, it aint.

Great entertainment!  At first, I wasn't sure where the story was going to take me, but I was intrigued by Petey McGuire's character; very rich and well-rounded.  Watching Petey develop into his own man was not only fun reading, but also inspiring on how to get through tough times.  When Bette (Petey's love interest) stands up to her domineering father, I wanted to cheer.  I especially enjoyed the humanity shown by Petey at the end of the story.  Good guys care deeply about others.  It's wonderful to read a story that cheers for the human race!  Awesome way to spend an afternoon.

Some critics panned this movie when it was first vetted. I say that they  are simply jaded and completely misguided in evaluating what we like about being entertained. Being entertained is a simple proposition and this movie easily accomplishes that promise. Dad needs to feel that his son loves and respects him - a difficult enough proposition in today's world. of crazy influences. Among other things that make this movie so enjoyable is the obvious enjoyment of the actors for working with each other. The movie draws you in like an old friend, with, of course, a fittingly touching ending. A great movie for a cozy night/rainy day with the fire burning ...
