What We Did On Our Holiday
A hilarious journey through an unforgettable family holiday
as a couple attempts to keep their impending divorce secret from their extended
family.
Doug (David Tennant) and Abi (Rosamund Pike) and their three
children travel to the Scottish Highlands for Doug’s father Gordie’s (Billy
Connolly) birthday party, where it’s soon clear that when it comes to keeping
their secret under wraps their children are their biggest liability.
From nine year old Lottie’s notebook to keep track of the
lies so she remembers which ones to tell, to four year old Jess’s perverse
attachment to a brick named Norman, for their parents a week has never seemed
such a long time.
But it’s middle child Mickey and his granddad’s shared
passion for Vikings which gives rise to the most far-reaching and unexpected
consequences. When a day at the beach turns to tragedy, the children take
matters into their own hands.
The film also stars Ben Miller, Amelia Bullmore and Celia Imrie with Emilia Jones, Bobby Smalldridge and Harriet Turnbull as the three McLeod children. It premiered in the UK in September 2014.
