WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Prismark10 Director Danny Boyle brings this fable set in the north of England just as Britain is about to switch from Sterling to Euros.Two young kids Damien and Anthony Cunningham move house after the death of their mother and playing near a railway track they come across a bag full of sterling cash which is about to become obsolete. Seven years old Damien is a sweet imaginative kid who thinks he is being guided by Catholic saints and thinks the money is a gift from God. His nine year old brother Anthony is more worldly wise and realises they should keep quiet about their find.However both kids find it difficult not to spend the money, especially Damien who wants to do good deeds but their is a stranger lurking about who wants to claim the money back.Writer Frank Cottrell Boyce writes an edgy idealistic film with a dose of magic realism but without cynicism that money does not buy you happiness but you can do good with it.

kikkapi20 Millions begins with the kind of colorful fantasy sequence that lent sparky life to Boyle films like Trainspotting and The Beach, and it continues with an appallingly funny segment in which 9-year-old McGibbon teaches his 7-year-old brother Etel that by mentioning their mother's recent death, they can extort all manner of gifts from guilty, uncomfortable adults. (When the moralistic Etel asks if this is "completely honest," McGibbon bitterly retorts, "Completely dead, isn't she?") But the film doesn't hit its stride until a sack of money falls from the sky onto Etel's head. After counting the loot, which comes to more than 200,000 pounds, McGibbon insists that they keep it secret, lest the government demand a cut, but he nonetheless proceeds to purchase high-tech toys, buy himself a cadre of followers at his new school, and start looking into real estate. Meanwhile, the more religious Etel clumsily attempts to share his bounty with the poor. With the mandatory changeover from pounds to euros fast approaching, the boys have to spend the money before it becomes worthless, but its previous owner is operating on the same schedule, and his ruthless efforts to retrieve the cash throw a threatening note into what's otherwise a sweet, almost-straight-faced family drama. Millions is a very special and moving film, with a superb staff. Watch it!

kai ringler thought that this was a great human feel good story. those two little boys did a remarkable job with it, the story goes like this,, a boy playing outside his house happens to get lucky when a bag is tossed out of a train,, unbeknownst to him at first it has over a quarter million pounds in it, well at first he doesn't know what to do with it, so he shows it to his older brother, then they come up with a few ideas for the money, one being to give away some of the money to the poor.. along the way the meet several characters,, "saints" , like Francis of Assisi, and so on and so forth, you see their mother is dead so they are really trying to find their mother, but as the movie goes on having all of this money leads to chaos and more problems for the boys, as they start getting people following them and pretending to be their friends,, soon they realize that having all of this money does more harm than good,, all in all i liked this movie very much,, i was surprised to find out that Danny Boyle from 28 days later had directed this one,, congratulations Danny on a job well done.

Martin Bradley This magical, phantasmagorial feel-good movie really ought not to work but it does, and beautifully. It's certainly Danny Boyle's best film since "Trainspotting". Alex Etel and Lewis McGibbon are the children whose discovery of a bag of money from a, not the, great train robbery has a somewhat traumatic effect on their somewhat humdrum lives. At first it's a case of spend, spend, spend, certainly by the older boy, Anthony, or give, give, give in the case of Damian, the younger one whose sleeping and waking moments are filled with visions of the saints. Their foolhardy behaviour soon draws the attention of both the authorities and one of the villains and their problems are further exacerbated by the fact that they only have a few days to get rid of the lolly before Britain converts to the Euro.This is a sweet movie but it isn't a cloying one. At its centre is a truly wonderful performance from Alex Etel as Damian, acting as if he believed every minute of it, (and banishing our doubts in the process). It helps, too, that the film has a very solid script by Frank Cottrell Boyce that blends fantasy and realism so seamlessly. It's funny and it's moving and the old chestnut of the dead mother paying one last visit to her children is handled without sentimentality. A credit to all concerned.
