So much to love in this Brit kiddie sci-fi adventure, with its brilliant concept that really works on a small budget and a real sense of place.

At Soho Hotel, which is a bit of a celebrity hangout. It also has a couple of screening rooms, which is my excuse to go there.

Like Monty Python without the comedy, or at least without the intentional comedy. Jeff Bridges’ saving throw against the Phoning It In curse fails!
Get Hard movie review: go directly to jail
