Faithful to the spirit of the novels
Kids love this movie! I don't much like slapstick, and it has its fair share. But kids who've watched it high school French classes really appreciate it. The boys of Nicholas's class are a hoot. The boss-employee relationship of Nicholas's father, and his mother's efforts to impress, I found pretty predictable. I'm glad I saw it, but the comedic genre is not really my cup of tea.
