Is Anybody There? (out Jun 4) is an English drama about a young boy stuck living in an old folks home (because his parents run the place). He befriends an ageing magician (Michael Caine) and learns some valuable life lessons. It's a crowd pleaser but a few tears may be shed. Not enough character development for me. Grade: B-.
