Oh please, 7.7???

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2008)

I'm honestly amazed at the rating this film has been given, one can only presume that the majority of reviewers were American!!!
This film was absolute trite, totally predictable, had appalling acting and was just plain boring. I was waiting to be amazed and sadly enough i still am. The Wizard of Oz was more believable and had a better twist.
Maybe the people who loved the book couldn't help but love the movie? There can't be any other explanation. It was really that bad. The one truly good thing about this movie was the ensemble of actors who have been great in so many other films, this time they just seemed wooden and dead.
