Great potential, great actors...disappointing script.
The screenplay is a mess.
Undeveloped characters.
No individual 'character arcs'. (Did any of the characters experience anything? Did they have their own individual journeys? Did they change?) Even Stephan Dillane's character was a failed examination: he started off wooden and ended up dancing...in his inimitable wooden way.
It's a simple enough story with a simple enough 'reason to be': to show a character's re-invention, to show them learning something, being impacted by something so that not only their lives change, but THEY change, too.
The premise is brilliant: businessman loses everything because of greed, has to re-locate his family to a life he'd left behind as fast as he was able, the family comes together, all ends happily.
But there was no authentic friction. The kids are all even-keeled, adapt really easily and really quickly... There seemed to be few ramifications to them having to take up a new life. (The only friction was the reaction to the use of foul language occasionally.)
Even more than turning Dillane into a cardboard cut-out with a monotone voice to go along with the same bland expression, it was a shame to see the great character of Uncle Spiros wasted. (How his story ended up was the worst transgression of the writer.) And then there's the love interest story, which had a beginning and an end...but no middle.
Because the film fell so short of the mark, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (What I would do is recommend it to film students as an example of how to write a poor script.)
