Didn't understand the basics of this movie. The lead character is in his 20's and looks 30 dressed up as a schoolboy. The accents and the way they speak sounds as though they are making a bad attempt at auditions for Oliver.
Terrible movie. I wouldn't let my children watch it as it's dumb. Wasn't even funny.

If you're over the age of 12 then I'll stick my neck out and suggest that this film is not for you. I saw this with my two kids (aged 8 & 10) and they loved it. They haven't stopped going on about that matchbox creature.
For me, it reminded me of the films I saw when I was a kid - it's not a Marvel film nor a Harry Potter by any stretch but a low budget film aimed at a young audience. If you've got kids under 12 then I'd say give a go - they will love it.
Bye-bye.
Low cost family entertaining teeny weeny comedy, also severely animal friendly so let fuss and pipp have a look too. Love british actors when with good pronounciation and 'earable diction, funny story in a way of moviemaking thats dying out, namely the crank and prank comedy. Grumpy old man recommends.
So refreshing to find a family movie that is British and not a cartoon! I watched this in a cinema packed with kids and they where laughing and cheering all the way through as Tim figured out how to spend the last 2 hours of his life. Tim's father has died and has left him hurt and confused about what is important in his life. When he discovers the Vitaltron, built by a suitably batty scientist (Siobhan Redmond), it's a chance for him to work out who he wants to spend the last 2 Hours of his life with.
Also loved the twist at the end...
A D minus effort, very much cheesy British tv fair from the 80s, the baddies were annoying, most of the dialog was mind numbing, and the kids were like a hang over from the 80s, fake rebellion and wishful outsiders, probably written by some old f@rt longing for their lost youth.
This is well below standard for movies these days, although the locations were nice and low level london street scenes, and some of the actors did the best with what they were given, which wasn't much. Ella-Rae Smith did really well in particular. Actually, some of em were pretty bad.
