A watchable film. It does not tax your intellect, has likeable characters and great scenery. It was not meant to compete with films like Three Thousand Years of Longing, and does not. What it does do is offer a similar film to Knives Out. Basically, if you liked the first film, you will like this. It can be a stand alone film, in that you do not need to have watched the first one to appreciate this. The plot will have you guessing at times, but is not a taxing one. As a whodunnit, it is great for watching with your wife, which is what I did.
As for the children, they are enjoying the holidays. My son made dinner a few days ago, but now seems on sucking any ice cream that he can find up. My daughter has some friends over having been to a party last night. They were still talking when I went to bed at 0120 so I do not know what she will be like today. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy some of the weather today and have something more substantial to update tomorrow. Saying that, I also had an enjoyable dog walk with my daughter yesterday.
