Having read the mary Norton novels I was expecting a little more
from the film. What i got was entertaining enough, it could have
been better though. It seemed to be a mismatch between Home
Alone and Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and was pretty much on the
same par as these two films. The acting was o.k, and the visual
effects were quite good but i thought it could have benefited from
more substance. Still it was not a total waste of time, it had some
good parts. The 10 year old boy was quite annoying though, and
would benefit from a few more years acting lessons before
inflicting us with his talentless efforts. That said the largely
British cast did their best.
