an orphan with a mission....

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2012)

a mission to make the man machine his dad left him work. That's what this movie is about. It was pretty good, but I didn't think it deserved all the awards. The scenery wasn't that great. But Ben Kingsly deserved some acting nominations. I'm surprised he didn't get any.
Hugo is an orphan whom keeps the clocks working at a train station in Paris. He has to escape the Station Inspector every day and he must steal food to survive. One day the toy shop keeper obtains Hugo's notebook and sees something familiar in it. With the help of Georges goddaughter, Hugo solves the mystery of whom Georges used to be and the connection to his father. It's something you wouldn't guess and Hugo gets a home.
FINAL VERDICT: A cute kids movie, nothing great, but entertaining enough to catch it on TV.
