The Sheep Detectives

This afternoon I went to the Events Cinema Carindale where I saw the movie The Sheep Detectives. George Hardy (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd in Denbrook who loves to read murder mysteries to his sheep and then he is found dead which the sheep start to solve the crime as well as George's daughter Rebecca(Molly Gordon) coming on the scene as well as his lawyer Lydia(Emma Thompson) who reads the will and then it gets very interesting. It is excellent, very funny and very entertaining with excellent acting by Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Molly Gordon, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Julia Louis-Dryfus, Bryan Cranston and Patrick Stewart. It was directed by Kyle Balda and produced by Lindsay Doran, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. It is a feel good comedy and it is well worth seeing. I give it 4 stars as it's in the cinemas now and please do yourselves a favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
