Slowwwww, although moderately cute

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2001)

The casting is good. The castles are real. The kids are especially cute and good. The ghosts are fun. But the music seems recycled. The special effects are underwhelming. And the movie just does not seem to WORK. There's a lack of suspense & the enjoyable qualities of the novel would have transferred much better with some narration.
