Cheesy, but a feel good movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2004)

I watched an advanced screening of this film in August. It is a pretty good film and it toys with the emotions of the viewer. Johnny Depp gives a good performance in it as well. It is difficult to get past the accent, but you get used to it. Fans will also appreciate he has a small role as a pirate as well. The children in the movie are there to make you cry, as most people in the audience have. The movies main theme is to never stop using your imagination. In brief the film follows a standard formula, but it does it well so I didn't mind. The movie comes from Marc Foster who also did Monsters Ball, so it definitely shows the variety he is capable of.
Worth seeing, and a great movie to bring a date to.
