December Boys (12A)

Plot
Four orphans spend the summer at a small beach cove, where the eldest, Maps (Radcliffe), falls in love with the mysterious Lucy (Palmer) and the younger boys compete for prospective adoptive parents.

Verdict
More Sunday afternoon filler than cinema sensation, it’s a perfectly pleasant drama, but you’ll struggle to remember it the next day.
