Trivia
Seventy-six tortoises were used in the making of this movie.

Errores
Mr Pringle twice says that the moment of his birth came about as a result of his father driving too quickly over a speed bump. This would make Pringle, at the time of the film's release (2015) no older than 32 years old, as speed bumps weren't introduced in the UK until 1987. Pringle appears to be of a similar age to Mrs. Silver (Judith Dench), and Mr. Hoppy (Dustin Hoffman), who were born in 1934 and 1937 respectively.

delightful laid back story

This absolute wonderful story of love between two 'older' people will have you spellbound from start to finish. Dustin Hoffman nails perfectly the shy, retiring Mr Hoppy who until his neighbour moves in has only one love his Babylonian balcony garden. Whilst Mrs Silver played by Judi Dench, becomes the new object of his affections the day she moves in to the flat below his, is ideally cast. Mr. Hoppy although he is to shy to tell her how he feels gets the chance to make her dreams come true when he learns she wishes her pet tortoise Alfie, would grow from his very small 13 ounces. To do this he comes up with an ingenious and very daring but funny plan. However their is a complication in the form the very boorish Mr. Pringle who lives in the flat next to Mr. Hoppy he also has his eye on Mrs Silver.

If you enjoyed your romances gentle but bitter-sweet with a happy end you will love this. The entire story of their budding romance is humorously narrated by James Corden the man with the first floor flat.
