Retirement-home pablum about the warming relationship between an inquisitive eleven-year-old (interested in ghosts, interested in “what happens”) and the old crank, formerly The Amazing Clarence, who takes over the boy’s room. Vibrant color photography by Rob Hardy, and a vibrant performance by Michael Caine, perhaps too vibrant for the role. With Bill Milner, Anne-Marie Duff, and David Morrissey; directed by John Crowley. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
