A lot better than any other movie this year

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2001)

I have to say that in this movie, I checked my friend's watch many times to see when I would have to leave this wondrous adventure and go back to the real world. Some will inevitably complain about the length, but I though it was just enough time to cover the story. The acting was not Oscar worthy, but it was surprisingly good. Those who were bored to tears in the book, (as I was), will enjoy the movie because the beginning moves along quickly. This will be one of the few movies I see again before its release on DVD. So, SEE THIS MOVIE!
