no message . no symbolism . no dark undercurrent . just a wonderful melange of music and nostalgia and good fun put to gether by people who obviously have a great time do it . it a refreshing antidote to some of the pretentious garbage be grind out by the studio . of course anything with the incomparable judi dench be worth watch . and cleo laine brilliant jazz singing be a bonus . this lady be in the same league a the late ella . this go on my movie shelf to be pull out again anytime i feel the need for a warm experience and a hearty good natured chuckle . just a wonderful film .
