Seriously under promoted

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2007)

I almost didn't go to this because I had heard nothing about it and I wondered if it was one of those movies where they put the only 30 seconds worth watching in the promos.
This was a fantastic film, I enjoyed it more than the blockbusters I've seen this summer and I intend to spread the word loud and strong so my friends don't make the mistake I almost made. The story was delightful and original. The humor was thoughtful. The acting and special effects were excellent.
I would consider this relatively kid safe. The worst of the violence is off screen, but you have to know your child and their tolerances. It is more than balanced by the whimsical joy of the script.
