Papadopolous and Sons (2012)

This is a light and enjoyable British comedy (found streaming on Netflix).  Harry Papadopoulos is a high flying real estate mogul, but it turns out that he got his start in a fish and chips shop with his brother Spiros.  The film opens with his family, all modestly spoiled, living in a much too big house with the saving grace that they all seem to like each other and to miss the wife and mother, who has died much too young.

But as fast as you can say 2008 down turn, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. The multimillion dollar property that he has just purchased has dropped precipitously in price, and now the bank wants it's money back.  The family is out on the street with the clothes on their back and a modest nest egg in the bank--plus the shop that Harry started out in.  Spiros convinces him that they should reopen it, go back to the days of their youth, and much to everyone's surprise--except Spiros--it is a marvelous success.  There is a nice romance tucked into the narrative, as well as a life lesson or two, and while it is not deep, it has some nice reminders about what is important in life.
