    First let me start by saying the "synopsis" attached here on Flixster has NOTHING to do with this film.

    This film is an often charming and somewhat painfull look at one young (Scottish) boys coming of age and to the realization that his family (particularly his father) are no...( read more)t untouchable icons (as we tend to think of them when we are children), but are in fact flawed, repressed, real live human beings.

    The film is JUST homoginized enough to loose a bit of it's potential, but is still not your average "family film" by any means.

    The good solid performance from this impressive cast.

    Based on the packaging, the reviews and the tagline ("a summer in paradise"), you might expect "My Life So Far" to be a sugary, rural, nostalgic and Disney-ish family movie about an eccentric British inventor and his son.

    Actually, this is a nasty family drama about an adulter...( read more)ous father and his son's discovery of pornography in an attic "where Satan lurks". A story about a ten-year-old boy learning all there is to know about prostitution and lesbianism and watching photographs of naked Belgian women is not my idea of a family movie.

    I quit after 45 minutes.

    Now I thuroughly enjoyed this movie, it was touching but also very funny, it had a modicum of drama, and some really good acting, I consider this an unknown semi-precious gem, definately worth a watch, especially the big dinner scene, it's a real classic!
