Hola folks, Harry here and I'm here to introduce Marty McFly's review of MY LIFE SO FAR, the latest film from the director of CHARIOTS OF FIRE. Sounds like an interesting cast, though I'll hold off any anticipation till more reviews come in on it. But for now... Here's that hoverboard kid floating on the power of love....

Hey! Marty McFly here, and I'm feeling pretty good right now since it looks like Back To The Future 4 will happen. Anyways I'm back from seeing another delightful little indie gem called My Life So Far. I've been hearing a good buzz on the film and if it ever opens around your local theaters, you should check it out.

The film stars many talented actors like Colin Firth, Malcom McDowell, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio, Irene Jacob, and Tcheky Kayro (sp?). It's based on a novel I never read and can't remember the name of. Sorry.

The story is told all through the eyes of a little boy living in Scotland named Fraser. He lives with his father, mother, and many siblings on a huge estate and he narrates the film as a teenager, looking back on his life so far. I've never seen this young little actor who plays the boy but he is very natural. As he becomes older, he learns about many things in life. He learns about love when his uncle (played by Mr. Alex DeLarge himself, McDowell) brings home his younger fiance (Jacob) and the young boy falls for her. This young woman also captures the eye of Fraser's father (played by Firth) which causes trouble in his relationship with his wife (played by Mastrontonio). Brendan Gleeson, who I just saw today also in the incredibly entertaining Lake Placid, is underused in a very small role.

It's a great coming of age story and it has just the right blend of comedy and drama. The film was directed by Hugh Hudson, who most of you know directed Chariots Of Fire. He received an Oscar nomination for that film and don't be surprised if this film gets some Oscar attention when the 2000 Oscars come along.

I'll see ya in the future!
