Last week’s new releases were dominated by indisputable national treasure Sir Michael Caine and The Great Escaper. How on Earth can this week’s offerings hope to follow in the footsteps of such a titan of British acting talent? Answer – with one of the truly greatest ladies our shores have ever sired leading the charge.
Alongside the immortal Dame Judy Dench, she stands as one of the British acting industry’s most revered exports, and has played a monumental part in establishing a universal truth: we’re the best in the world at this; that’s all there is to it. As a kindly priest observes to one of his doubting flock after she learns there have only been 62 documented miracles in a sacred French town since 1858: “You don’t come to Lourdes for a miracle. You come for the strength to go on when there is no miracle.”
Her sharp-tongued cousin Eileen Dunne greets her return with withering insults and Maureen’s good friend Lily Fox is equally hostile, having warned her son Dermot to steer clear of Chrissie many years ago. Irish accents that waver when characters raise their voices do not distract greatly from universally appealing performances and director O’Sullivan does not rush inevitable scenes of reconciliation. Slow and steady wins the race.Every dog has its day, especially the smallest of the litter, in a second feature film extension of the hugely popular PAW Patrol children’s TV series, which has been wagging the tails of young viewers since 2013.
Tongue-in-cheek self-awareness takes infrequent walks in a script penned by director Cal Brunker, Billy Frolick and Bob Barlen, who acknowledge the preposterousness of the central dramatic conceit when junkyard owner Janet explains to her pet goldfish Bruce that PAW Patrol are little puppies that defy canine physiology to drive around in cars.
The culprit is mad scientist Victoria Vance , who intends to harness to power of the electromagnet to attract Meteor X2805 into Earth’s atmosphere so she can harvest precious crystals contained within the fallen space rock.
