WHAT IT S ABOUT:
When a rebellious grandfather (Robert Whitehead) finds out he won t spend Christmas with his granddaughter (Katherine Neethling), he breaks out of his nursing home to see her.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
Isidingo or Archibald in
Legacy. But he s got a flair for comedy and knows how to wrap you around his finger as the do-good grandfather Herbert in family movie
Herb & Moon. It hit SA screens just before Christmas.
Robert s flair for literature and theatrics is well known in the acting industry, but it s a real treat to see it play out in a character like lonely Herb. He lives in a retirement village and has old school friends who love his tales of his adventures through Africa, his literary references and the fantasy world. Herb loves nothing more than to see his granddaughter Gemma (newcomer Katherine Neethling).
