- A sweet surprise
I rented this movie to see Toby Stephens but bought it because it was immediately engaging and special. Perhaps I was so charmed because I was caught by such surprise. The set-up is a family reunion attended by some of the less well off members as well as the amazingly rich ones. They hardly know of one another, hence the title.

I found the movie surprised me. I wasn't sure what to expect really. I've only seen Matthew Macfayden in period dramas thus far.

It's a modern family reunion of a large British family and about learning how similar we really all are...despite distance, breeding, etc.
