Der Film basiert auf der wahren Geschichte von Alan Bennett, in dessen Londoner Auffahrt Miss Shepherd „vorübergehend" ihren Van parkte und für 15 Jahre wohnen blieb. Diese Begegnung, die als widerwillig gewährter Gefallen begann, entwickelte sich zu einer innigen Freundschaft, die die Leben der beiden für immer veränderte. (Sony Pictures DE)

Maggie Smith played the role of a granny from a well-known British play. A granny who smells like a spoiled egg and swears like a sailor. A granny who pushes her way in front of the house of the most boring writer under the sun. And since Alex Jennings doesn’t hide it at all, the whole movie goes on is a similar fashion. If it weren’t for Maggie and the English locations, it would be even worse than it is.

This is a concert by Maggie Smith, who shows that it is possible to be a great actress at any age, you just need a good role. This role is good, but overall the movie falls behind a bit and I couldn't get into it for most of the running time. Especially as a comedy, it works kind of strangely and definitely may not captivate you.
