The story of Ellie, a young woman left in charge of the residential home run by her older sister, over the Christmas period. Whilst most of the residents have left to spend the festive period with their families, four residents, known as 'the hardcore' remain. Their behavior is so terrible that the home faces closure as potential new residents are put off by their appalling antics.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A good scolding and a toke on a joint: that's all it takes to turn the curmudgeonly old folks in How About You into goofy pussycats.

rotten:
Anthony Byrne's lazy drama is insulting to just about everyone, including Maeve Binchy, who wrote the short story on which it was based.

fresh:
Never underestimate the value of slight but charming flicks like Anthony Bryne's How About You.

fresh:
While the movie is rather predictable and has a few moments that are just too heartwarming, there are scenes that are both moving and humorous.
