“Railway Children” is the sequel to a successful ’70s family film in the UK.

Actress Jenny Agutter (An American Werewolf in London) plays a character named Bobbie in both films. In “The Railway Children,” she was the older sister who, during World War 2, helped her mother move the tribe from the city to Yorkshire village.

“Emergency” is goofy mix of movies like “The Hangover” and “Weekend at Bernie’s”. There is a high alcohol content missing person, and a few folks stuck with an extra person who is non-responsive. That person is not dead, but they are so blitzed out that they might as well be. The college roommates who find the inebriated under-age girl are in a bad spot.
