    I tried to watch this when I read that Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie, and Jim Broadbent were in this film. But I couldn't make it past the first half hour. A tad too cheesy and over-exaggerated for my taste.

With such great actors as Jim Broadbent as the main character, Alfred Salteena, Bill Nighy or Hugh Laurie, this is truly an excellent film, which might become a Christmas classic.
