not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 9; from 8, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 10-12, the age when the gap between two worlds becomes funny instead of invisible. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 9.

What it's about

When Jeff and Cathy’s grandson Jiji is selected for a training camp with Arsenal, it’s a dream opportunity for the whole family to head over to England and meet the royal family.

Why 9

Our readingAlcohol is everywhere, this is the booziest film we have looked at: wine, beer and cigarettes in nearly every scene. The film doesn't make a trophy of it, glasses get refused and someone is told "you've had too much," but an adult also sends the children off to get a beer. Otherwise, not a drop of blood and nothing frightening.
reading
Drinks in nearly every sceneWine, beer and bottles are on screen constantly, and drinking is talked about again and again. The film doesn't treat it as an achievement, characters turn down glasses and someone gets told they've had too much, but an adult also sends the kids off to fetch a beer. Cigarettes turn up regularly too.
Loud jolts and shoutingThe film almost never goes quiet: doors slam, glass breaks, people yell, and a few sudden bangs after a silence can make a younger child jump. Faces screaming in panic show up in a couple of comic set pieces, played for laughs rather than fright.
Scuffles and props, comedy styleThere are shoving matches, a knife and a gun handled in gag scenes, and a few gunshot sounds. Nothing bloody is shown and the tone stays broad and silly, but the objects are there.
Death mentioned, never shownDying comes up a few times in dialogue, including one passing mention of suicide, all in throwaway lines rather than as a real event. A child who catches the word may ask about it.
Coarse words in the mixA handful of swear words and a few put-downs land across the film, the kind of rough talk the family is known for. Kisses and flirting stay light.

What the movie brings

A warm portrait of a family that stays loyal to itself even when everyone is laughing at them.
A playful look at how class and manners work differently in another country.
Plenty of wordplay and running gags to enjoy together.

Watching it together

Before

You might say beforehand that the grown-ups in this family drink and smoke a lot, and that the film plays it for laughs rather than showing it as a good idea.

After

at 9 and up

The Tuches never try to act fancy. Do you think that helped them or got them into trouble?
