Total Garbage; Utter Sh**e

AAAArgh!!! ; any more comments such as "enchanting" and "simply magical" and I will puke as violently as I did watching this diarrhoea-bag of a film.
I admit that this twee twaddle has certainly energized the twee collective of the world to come out in their hundreds and gush about it on this website. However, all normal people, who require more to impress them than Claire Danes' pathetic attempt at "cool British" (er... "wooden monotone", more like), mixed in with the most irritatingly unrealistic dialogue since "The Village" (check out the moment when Danes spews out Gaiman's sub-Jane Austin nonsense to... a rodent), will think this is about as magical as Paul Daniels.
Oh, and a gay Robert De Niro. Let's contrive "archly ironic" while we're at it, said the studio suits. How clever of them.
Enchanting? Well, I can't deny it managed to hypnotise all the gullible people who've used such tosh to describe such tosh. They're the sort of people who say "poo" and then titter about it. So, I won't use stronger language; I'll just say it's the biggest pile of poo put out at the pictures all year, period. Ooh! I'm alliterative!!!
