This was such a cute movie. I loved it as much as my 8 year old grandchildren. No disc or play issues, case intact, very enjoyable. Thank you.

Awesome movie. Good movie for adults and kids. I like that there wasn't the cursing and swearing found in a lot of newer movies. I have young children so I try to screen what they're exposed to. My five-year-old has watched it numerous times. I was weary of the goblins and ogre causing nightmares but he loved it. This movie opens your imagination to endless possibilities. It's on my top list with such movies as Narnia and The Brige to Tarabithia. I've bought a few copies for myself, my nieces and my Mother-in-Law all of whom loved it as well. I can't wait for another one to come out. Ther really wasn't anything about it that I didn't like to be honest. Great job to the young boy playing dual roles as Simon and Jared very difficult task for an actor not to mention one so young.
Unlike some reviews I will be reviewing the film not ebay or the seller and unlike still some other reviewers I had not seen previews or read the books..for me the dvd cover looked interesting..so when we found it on sale for $10 we bought it and guess what?? we LOVE it..the storyline was fun and adventerous with a little Harry Potter and a little Lord Of The Rings thrown in for good measure..a set of twins, their older Sister and their recently seperated Mother move into a falling down old creepy, but gorgeous old Mansion type house a family estate she is allowed to move into owned by her great Aunt Lucinda..Lucy who is in a sanitorium..Great Aunt Lucinda stayed in the old house her entire life never marrying awaiting her Fathers return after his abduction by a group of Sprites..this story and others got her put away..her Family thinking she's a little loony moves in and soon finds out Lucinda isn't crazy after all and now it's up to them to keep evil from taking over..Watch as the Kids get into adventure after adventure while their Mom is clueless to everything until the last minute..the ending is heartwarming and sweet the way a film of any sorts shoudl end! A fun film for everyone of all ages..If you loved the Harry Potter and LOTR films then you will treasure this one as well...We sure do!!Read full review
My 7yo read the series and we bought this to go along with it. We all did the Harry Potter series, reading then watching, earlier this spring but Mom and Dad(work) now cannot keep up with the reading pace of our little girl(Lexile 1000+). Nick Nolte doing a fairytale movie? Not your typical fairytale. Yes it was a small role for him, but this is not the fairytale you expect. I would not recommend this for a family with a 6yo or younger, but it is great for the 6+ family. My daughter says the books are better. If you want to get your kids to read, try reading to and then with them.
This is definitely a good movie. Not a great movie, but a good one nevertheless. The special effects are average. I was expecting something like "Lord of the Rings", so naturally, I was a little disappointed. The theme of "good conquers evil" is evident, and therefore, it sets a good moral example. I loved Freddie Highmore's performance in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and his dual performance (as twins) in "Spiderwick" was pretty good as well. The kids will like this one!
