In Millions, as England prepares to switch currency from Pounds to
Euros, a devout seven-year-old boy obsessed with the lives of the saints gets
the surprise of a lifetime when a bag full of the soon-to-be-outdated money
lands on his suburban “hermitage” playhouse. What he and his older brother do
with their windfall drives this fable’s charming exploration of morality,
greed, and redemption. Director Danny Boyle’s 2004 film is rated PG and runs 98
minutes; recommended for ages eight and up.
