Customer Reviews

“Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill.”

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy. Psalm 99:9 From a story by Ifor David Monger b. 1908 Taffs Well, South Glamorgan, Wales, d. 29 Apr 1972 Taffs Well, South Glamorgan, Wales. The credits show that the movie was written and directed by Christopher Monger, from a story by Ifor David Monger, from a story by Ivor Monger. That is a lot of Mongers. Anson (Hugh Grant), a cartographer for the government, is tasked with measuring a hill that the locals insist is a mountain. The term mountain is arbitrarily given as 1000 feet or more. It looks like touch-and-go before a little divine intervention and a little help from the village folk will adjust. Meantime Anson has time to learn of the pleasures of village life, and Elizabeth, aka Betty from Cardiff (Tara Fitzgerald). By the time you read this review, you will know the general story. However, it is the execution that makes this movie worth repeated viewing. As we observe a s-h-a-g-g-y dog story told by a senile old man to his grandson. We go along for the ride. Somehow, I can believe this one.
