My Life So Far
1999
**½
Director: Hugh Hudson
Cast: Colin Firth, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Malcolm McDowell, Irene Jacob
A cliched coming-of-age tale set in Scotland in the 1920s, narrated by a young boy in the usual I-was-never-the-same-after-that-summer tradition. This story of a quirky family is likeable but not interesting or original enough to be worth your while. The actors and accents are from all over the world, so it's difficult to take the group as a Scottish family.
