Description
This rites of passage comedy introduces a shy and downtrodden Ben (Rupert
Grint) with yet another dreary school holiday coming around. Seventeen years of
living in an absurdly conservative and traditional household with his
highly-strung and overbearing mother (Laura Linney) and quiet, mild mannered
vicar father have taken its toll on young Ben. While the other kids are out
having fun, Ben spends these precious few weeks attending bible classes, having
driving lessons with his mother and helping out at a local old people's home.
However, Ben's world is turned upside down when he's employed by an eccentric
retired actress Evie (Julie Walters). Vulgar, dignified and childish all at
once, she certainly is not the kind of person Ben expected when searching
through the job listings in the stuffy parish magazine, "Hello Jesus". Evie
enters Ben's life with a cataclysmic force, whisking him away on a series of
adventures from camping, to performing Shakespeare in the garden, to attending
the Edinburgh festival - where he finally meets a girl much nearer his own age.
Evie's unconventional and often downright bizarre behavior challenges Ben's
beliefs, and forces him to confront the very idea of who he wants to be. Then,
when it seems that his new-found freedom is about to be taken away, Ben has to
suddenly choose; should he continue to conform, or break out and live his life
as his own man?
