Product: Stuart Little (1999)
Rating: 3.0
A somewhat charming movie.
This movie does its job. It entertains the 4-10 year old viewer. My children enjoyed watching this movie; however, I don't foresee it becoming one of their favorites. The story line drags too much and the characters are too bland. The talking animals lack the wit of other movie and TV animals, notably the animals in Homeward Bound and the cat, Salem, in the TGIF Sabrina TV series. My youngest says that the outtakes are the best part of the Stuart Little DVD.Because my children had read the novel by E.B. White, they were disappointed by the changes in the story. In sum, this movie comes up OK. Oh, one special note---the special effects are great. Watch Stuart Little on a rainy Saturday afternoon when you have nothing better to do.
