Millions

Need a very different kind of Christmas movie? One without the doofus brother, special effects, and elaborite costumes. How about a cute Brit comedy not so much about the holiday as the spirit of giving. If you get Brit humor, and you enjoy a movie where the main character is a kid, this would be a good choice.

Millions (2004) - http://www.foxsearchlight.com/millions/

The accents are thick so use the subtitles if you need to. It's clever. The kid sees Saints, old and new. This movie is much better if you are paying attention.

Director Danny Boyle, of "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later" fame, tells this fun story with up-tempo editing, and very supportive soundtrack.
