Funny, memorable. POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2004)

This movie made quite an impression on me, seeing it for the first time made me appreciate that modern film can actually have an impact like the old classics although its the kind you would least expect it from. The film has a good balance throughout and the plot is nice and tight, i certainly didn't expect to be impressed by JB but i was amazed at how well he traveled through it, he made me laugh so much probably unaware by how much he appeals to British humour. Beneath the silliness of this picture (which really works btw) you get the feel good factor but their not trying to give you it if you know what i mean. All of the child actors in this film are also great, non seem out of place or uninvolved like you often see in other movies each child and their personality gives something to it. Everyone seems to revolve around Dewey although being daft and outgoing you know he has an element of seriousness but he'll never show you, watching the behind the scenes bit on the DVD
JB seems to be a lot like he is in the movie in real life, he is referred to as being silly and he is but it works there a few scenes that made me think wow this guy can really act particularly the scene where the camera is panning away from him as he describes his song to the kids he really impressive i was really glued to the screen here, not many actors could hold a shot for this long without the camera cutting away to someone else.All in all this is a very good Film and one of the best DVD's I've ever bought and i believe the people i went to watch it with at the cinema would say the same, you know you've seen a good one when your walking out still chuckling about it ;).
