Millions

Two brothers find a pile of money in Pounds a few days before the conversion to Euro is going to take place. One of the boys who sees and talks to saints, wants to give the money away to the poor. The other wants to spend it all. A really lighthearted and hilarious flick. The take on the "bread and fish" tale by St Peter talking to the boy is brilliant. Though I have to take a star away for the cheesy ending.

PS: One of the scenes that I liked a lot was of the family moving to their new home. The boys are rushing to see their new place. The dad pauses before closing the door of his old home. You hear the sounds of the time he and his family had in there. He then shuts the door and leaves.
