...Some of the cast members are given room to create plausible characters. McGregor seems the very model of a vigorous, committed young prelate, the kind you wouldn't mind having as your kids' teacher.

...cynical that I wouldn't recommend reminding your grandmother, the next time you talk to her, that she's always the one who remembers the grandkids' birthdays or who recalls all the measurements in the family biscuit recipe (or, if you're from New England, the family martini recipe). Maybe such a little compliment could help Grandmother find her car keys the next time she has misplaced them...
