It's hard not to smile at a film that says it's a good thing to care for other creatures...my film critic faculties went out the wall, because yeah, I agree with that.

Bob's gift will almost certainly be embraced by a Covid-captive audience.

It's an undemanding, telly-ish film, with as many surprises as the Queen's speech. But like I say, a hot water bottle of a story.

A sweet, charming and heartwarming movie for the whole family.
