THE SHEEP DETECTIVES (2026
Rated PG - Rottentomatoes freshness score 95% (popcornmeter 96%), IMDB 7.4/10
Synopsis:
A kindly British shepherd loves his sheep and they love him. He lives a solitary life, and at the end of each day he sits on the steps of his trailer and reads mystery novels to his flock. He likes to imagine that they can understand what he's saying, but, of course, they can't. Or, can they? When he dies under suspicious circumstances, the sheep realize that it's up to them to solve the mystery of his death.
Thoughts:
This movie is a very sweet and fun movie appropriate for viewers of most ages. Oscar award winner Emma Thompson and nominee Hugh Jackman headline this fun romp, and the rest of the cast fills the story with fun and mystery. Since this is a mystery, you should expect various twists and turns along the way, and you won't be disappointed. It's particularly fun that the events in the story roll out much like a formulaic paperback mystery novel. Even so, you might be as surprised as I was with the unexpected finale!
This is a movie I can see myself watching many times in the years to come.
Highly recommended!
