"It's absolutely right that young people feel as if the world is theirs and nobody's ever done what they're doing before.
But the reality is, of course, every generation has done everything that they're doing."
Directed by American film-maker Chris Columbus, the crime comedy is based on English novelist Richard Osman's 2020 best-selling novel of the same name.
"I don't plot at all," Osman says of his writing process. "I have a rough idea of what might happen.
I have a little twist somewhere, but I write a chapter at a time and see what happens."
One of the screenplay writers, Katy Brand, says the movie mixes "serious, heartfelt warmth" and moments of silliness, humour and satire.
"This whole sort of genre that we have in this country of the sort of Sunday night crime drama... where amateur sleuthing goes on, but it's also got mischief to it."
As for the future, with three more novels in the series already out and a fifth instalment from Osman planned for autumn, he hopes there will be more films.
