A simply outstanding adaptation of Simon Winchester's book, with first class performances from Mel Gibson and Sean Penn in particular. Also a great reminder of just how versatile Steve Coogan is. I suggest that the critics lack the academic understanding to really appreciate the film - don't heed their reviews!
The real star of the film is the location. Having said no to both the Harry Potter series and If, Lancing College has finally succumbed to a coming-of-age movie where the nerd wins the day. And it's the location which makes the movie, as the film-makers get the most out of it. Well worth a watch.
