Simon Morris looks at three different films with one thing in common. They all feature "chosen families" - an Irish rowing team in Tarrac, an extended family of sisters, neighbours and a mischievous alien in Lilo and Stitch, and Bob Trevino likes it - where a lonely young woman is let down by her real father and finds a better one online. Lilo and Stitch - the latest in a string of Disney animated films remade in live action. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian 6 year old who wishes for a best friend and gets Stitch an anarchic alien who lives for trouble. Look out for cameo appearances from the stars of the original animated version. Tarrac is an Irish-language feelgood tale of an amateur team of women rowers who enter the semis in County Kerry. Can they beat the 20 year jinx? And will they pronounce the name of the sport? It's Naomhóg rowing, by the way. Bob Trevino likes it, sees Lily Trevino saddled with this year's worst father, Bob.
