Do you want to watch a beautifully written, directed and just in all enjoyable film then I must recommend Hugo.
I've just sat through the film and it kept my attention through every second and enjoyed it thoroughly! It is the sort of film that you sit down to watch and shouldn't expect to stand up from till it's all over.
Every character felt real and true to me, I never felt like there was a glitch in the acting or how the characters were portrayed. Hugo as the orphan tinkering mechanic, Georges as the bitter old man who has a past he doesn't want to talk about and Isabelle the adventurer who is the one real friend in the short life of Hugo.
Even Sacha Baron Cohen surprised me in this film but I've never been a great fan of his "work" but here he actually portrayed some talent. It wasn't all fun and games with him, perhaps he will take on more serious roles in the future as this performance was something I'd never have expected from him.
Even tho this film is mainly portrayed in the ways of Oliver, the sad little orphan that does as good as he can of what he's got, it has more meat on its bones than that. It was beautifully sweet and sad. It is a story that has a lesson behind it, but that is just what we need in films however it may be slightly too long for the youngest viewers.
I do recommend Hugo for just anyone, I don't have children and am an adult but I really enjoyed it myself.
