Hugh Jackman leads the all-star cast of a delightful underdog murder mystery, as a shepherd avenged by his sheep-turned-sleuths.

Living out of a campervan in the hills, George Hardy needs nothing more from life than his flock, whom he entertains daily by reading from crime novels. When he is found dead one morning, the grief-stricken herd must band together, remember his precious teachings, and scour the nearby village for his murderer – and save themselves from a new, less merciful owner. Working from the beloved German bestseller Three Bags Full, director Kyle Balda (Minions) and screenwriter Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) turn an irresistible story into a broad but charming family adventure, anchored by strong vocal work from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, and many others. Exquisite location work also helps: Hertfordshire was, apparently, among the home counties used.
