I don't watch many comedy productions, especially British comedy. But this film had something that made me interested in it due to the simplicity of its story. It seemed to be the type of lovely story that one can easily enjoy and feel some sort of empathy towards the main characters.

The story is about an old man who is in need of some money and is having difficulties with his financial situation. He lives with his wife and his youngest son, and he is the type of person who has strong ideals about how should things be. He believes old people like him should have free basic services such as free TV, and he feels offended to know the government is wasting money on other endeavors such as buying expensive paintings. Things get interesting after a very expensive painting is stolen, and there will be eventually a trial where we will discover everything that happened and why.

I believe this film is a perfect choice for those looking for a nice story to watch while relaxing. The film can have slow scenes but in the end, it is surely worth watching, and there are some lines of dialogue that were beautifully written as well, especially those from the trial. Personally, I feel comfortable recommending this film.

No veo muchas producciones de comedia, especialmente comedia británica. Pero esta película tenía algo que me hizo interesarme por ella debido a la simplicidad de su historia. Parecía ser el tipo de historia encantadora que uno puede disfrutar fácilmente y sentir algún tipo de empatía hacia los personajes principales.

La historia trata sobre un anciano que necesita algo de dinero y tiene dificultades con su situación financiera. Vive con su esposa y su hijo menor, y es el tipo de persona que tiene fuertes ideales sobre cómo deben ser las cosas. Cree que las personas mayores como él deberían tener servicios básicos gratuitos como televisión gratuita, y se siente ofendido al saber que el gobierno está desperdiciando dinero en otros esfuerzos, como la compra de pinturas caras. Las cosas se ponen interesantes después de que se roba una pintura muy cara, y eventualmente habrá un juicio donde descubriremos todo lo que sucedió y por qué.

Creo que esta película es una opción perfecta para aquellos que buscan una buena historia para ver mientras se relajan. La película puede tener escenas lentas, pero al final, seguramente vale la pena verla, y hay algunas líneas de diálogo que también fueron bellamente escritas, especialmente las del juicio. Personalmente, me siento cómodo recomendando esta película.
