Ron Howard's take on the Dan Brown book of the same name, with that book actually being the first (albeit less famous) of his Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon mystery novels (The Da Vinci code being the more famous).

Like the book, this takes place almost entirely in Rome, with Langdon (Tom Hanks) in a race against time and through the city to unravel the mysteries of the Illumunati during the period immediately after the death of the Pope but before the choosing/ordination of the next.

Also starring Ewan McGregor playing an Irish priest, I have to say that this - unfortunately - didn't really had my attention all that much (although I did have fun playing 'been there! seen that!)

A heartwarming coming of age story

Brooklyn’s plot is fairly uncomplicated and straight forward, but it’s the execution that makes this film worth watching. It’s such a beautiful and heart warming tale of an Irish immigrant in America, filled with drama, sadness and even a bit of comedy. Saiorse Ronan is brilliant, and she’s the main reason why this film is worth watching. Emory Cohen too is simply adorable as Eilis’s American love interest and this relationship is so heart warming to watch.

My only criticism about this film is that Eilis’s return to Ireland seemed a little rushed and whilst the ending itself was fairly sweet and satisfying, I feel like they could’ve done much more with it.

It's one of a kind

It has some seriously catchy music

Not enough people have seen this!

Not many people I know have seen this so I tell everyone to give it a go.
A kids film, completely off the radar, as it's not branded (not pixar or disney etc) it's a German, Danish and Irish creation, about 3 children that take get into all sorts of problems. It bombed at the box office but it definitely didn't deserve the bad press, it's about family, loyalty, the importance of intelligence and a hint of magic.
It has funny, scary (for young kids anyway) , tense, lovable scenes that everyone can enjoy.
