Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: A- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Jan 7, 2006 Full Review Independent (UK) Rated: 2/5 May 27, 2005 Full Review Megan Basham WORLD To say Millions is a lovely parable would almost do it a disservice, as that suggests that it succeeds more as a moral lesson than as the charming, funny, and touching bit of entertainment that it is. Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Danny Boyle's only great film featuring "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" is an urbane, thoughtful fable of Lego-bright color, vast imagination and a stout belief in meaningful displays of humanity, charity and altruism without stooping to sermons. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 19, 2010 Full Review Jay Antani Cinema Writer if you're a sucker for adorable, freckle-faced kids, you may not be able to resist the infantile wiles of this movie Rated: .5/4 Aug 20, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

SkyRo P Recently, I decided to watch the movie "Millions," available on Disney+. I was unsure if it was an original Disney production or a film from another company that Disney acquired. Nevertheless, I had seen it on the platform multiple times and decided to give it a chance. The story follows two brothers who stumble upon a large sum of money. One brother wants to invest and grow the money, while the other brother starts seeing spirits of people from Jesus' time and feels compelled to donate the money to charitable causes. As the plot unfolds, the siblings clash over how to handle the newfound wealth, leading to a series of conflicts and decisions. The movie takes a peculiar turn when saints, apostles, and other spiritual figures begin appearing to communicate with one of the brothers. However, the narrative takes a surprising twist when it's revealed that the money was not a gift from God but rather the result of a robbery. This revelation shatters the boy's faith and leaves both the characters and the audience questioning the purpose of the spiritual encounters. The film's direction becomes muddled as it struggles to reconcile the spiritual themes with the materialistic elements of the story. The protagonist, already a spiritual and kind-hearted child, is left disillusioned by the origins of the money, raising doubts about the film's underlying message and the significance of the supernatural encounters. In the end, "Millions" appears to lose its focus, leaving viewers puzzled about the overall message and the relevance of the spiritual elements in the story. The film's attempt to blend spiritual themes with materialistic concerns ultimately leads to a disjointed and unsatisfying narrative. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Charlie N This may be the worst film I have ever seen. Don’t watch it just don’t Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review kristy f I've seen better acting on porn hub. And let's focus on how the child safety factor is non existent. The kids are left alone to fend for themselves while their dad works. Then gets a new piece of ass that leaves a 6 year old boy alone in a mall while hello he could have gotten molested and kidnapped…. Plus the kid burns the money and commits arson… nice. CPS must be non existent In Britain …this movie BLOWS Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Megan Marie S I cried when I watched this movie. In a bad way. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A delightfully whimsical, heart-warming comedy with a strong element of the fantastic to it. Two great child performances hold it together, as well as a decent James Nesbitt, making it hard to resist. Probably deserves more attention than it gets as a 'minor Danny Boyle film, it's identifiably his own creation and serves as a sweet counterpoint to Shallow Grave. Calling one of the boys Damian is a great touch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally awesome! A movie for BOTH children and adults!
