Is Anybody there?

This is a story about Edward, a pre-teen kid in England whose parents have decided to make a living by turning their house into an assisted living facility for the elderly. Edward becomes fascinated with death and ghosts, waiting for a client to pass to observe direct evidence of the later. Things get shaken up a bit when a new client arrives (Michael Caine) who had a career as a magician in his younger days. Caine and Edward hit it off reluctantly and both learn a bit from each other. This is an amusing film and well played. A good combination of comical, sad and real.
4 stars (out of 5)
