Jason Flemyng stars (Rock Star, Snatch, Lock Stock) with rising star Kirsty Mitchell in this funny and thought-provoking story of the conflict between love and the realisation of a dream, the power of money and what happens when we turn our backs on everything familiar...
Charlie Davidson (Flemyng) is thirty-something, single and seems to have it all: a successful London publishing company, a beautiful and intelligent girlfriend, and everything money can buy. But something is missing... When his best friend suddenly dies, Charlie decides to find a real purpose in life. Driving off into the heart of the countryside, he stumbles across a surreal and lonely hotel, with a landlocked lighthouse in the woods beyond, inhabited by a series of strange and fascinating characters who will change his life for ever.

Lighthouse Hill is not a film for those who like being told a straight story. Sure, it is filled with a marvellous range of stars, but many seem to appear and disappear without much more than a wave to the camera.It has many sub plots- which like the sub- plots off the 'flying circus' of Monty's famous series, take you away from the main tale (which is itself only a faint line drawn on shifting sands.) My wife and I settled down for an entertaining evening, but were somehow disappointed. Lighthouse Hill was neither one thing nor another- it fell between two stools, not a drama- nor really a comedy.
This is one done by the numbers, trouble is no one made sure the numbers added up. Cast try hard, script could try harder.
