What We Did on Our Holiday
Doug and Abi and their three children travel to the Scottish Highlands for Doug's father Gordie's birthday party. It's soon clear that when it comes to keeping a secret under wraps from the rest of the family, their children are their biggest liability...
Critics Sentiment
The children send Gordie out to sea on a flaming raft
The family gets stuck in traffic and forced to stop overnight
The film jumps from 6.8 to 8.5 when Gordie dies peacefully, then reaches its peak at 9.0 with the Viking funeral sequence.
The film starts as a solid family comedy with strong performances but becomes exceptional when it shifts into more emotional territory. The Viking funeral sequence represents both the comedic and dramatic peak, after which the film settles into a more conventional but still satisfying resolution.
