HOW ABOUT YOU
Ellie, a free-spirited and headstrong young woman is left in charge of a residential home over the Christmas holidays. Her youth and inexperience bring her into bitter conflict with the four grumpy old residents. HOW ABOUT YOU deals with the hilarious antics of this uncivilized group, an unlikely romance, and the gradual solidarity that develops between the residents and Ellie, in this critically acclaimed heartwarming and irresistible film.
“Redgrave, O’Hara, Ackland, Fricker, and Staunton tear into their parts as though the Academy is still dispensing awards like a gumball machine to any actor who admits that old people can be bastards.” – Box Office Magazine
The material is familiar way past the point of cliche, but these folks are thoroughbreds — and they, if not the material, are irresistible.
– Bob Mondellow, NPR
Heartwarming…moving and humorous.
