The 37-year-old actress has heaped praise on the newest spin-off of the 'Star Wars' franchise, which was directed by her father Ron Howard, as she believes the production - which centres on the life of a young Han Solo before he teams up with Luke Skywalker in the main series - is "a hell of a movie".

Ron, 64, posted a video of his daughter talking about the movie on his Twitter account, where she said: "My dad was so privileged to be a part of this project, and I was so lucky because I got to actually go and watch him on the set and shadow him and learn from him. I can't remember the last time I saw him having this much fun, and this is a dude who has a lot of fun on a movie set.

"The crew, the cast, the story, I mean, this is an awesome movie. I've seen it many times, so I definitely can vouch for it. Not like anyone needs me to vouch for it. I'm just saying, it's a hell of a movie. It's so good."

Bryce was in London promoting her own hit movie 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' when she recorded the video, but urged people to go and see 'Solo' before her production opens in June.

She added: "Check it now because when 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' comes out, I want you to check that out. So, quick! Run!"

Ron accompanied the sweet video with a caption which thanked his daughter for her kind words.

He wrote: "#SoloMovie greatest review I could ever get...from our daughter @BryceDHoward Wow...thanks Bryce (sic)"

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' was released on May 25, and features a cast including Alden Ehrenreich as the titular smuggler, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, and Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra.
