"Matthews holds his own with his experienced co-stars, and his half- talking/half-singing explanation of his criminal past is the movie's best scene." | ||||
"The problem is that director Wayne Wang seems deaf to the tonal differences between coming-of-age, magic realism and children's comedy." | ||||
"A sweet, family-friendly retelling of a touching and funny Newbery Award-winning children's book." | ||||
"Only mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids" | ||||
"Tries hard to be sweet but plays like 'Pollyanna' with fleas" |
