Way Beyond Expectation.

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2011)

This movie was nothing short of wonderful. I read the book last year on recommendation. I loved every word and picture and this film was no different.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting this to be a good movie. After so many letdowns from previous book-inspired movie adaptations, I guess I've come to expect disappointment. Boy was I wrong!
The charcoal sketches from the book were illustrated perfectly in the setting of the movie. The actors were well cast and I found myself enjoying each role. It's hard not to feel for each one of their stories. (Don't worry, I won't spoil anything by describing that bit further!)
Overall, a fun family-friendly movie. c:
