"A quest for all ages. (...) An entertaining, diverting adventure saga that offers excitement and a relatable heroine for children, and also will remind their parents of favorite classics from their own youth. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)." | ||||
"Sweet but ho-hum adaptation of Wendy Orr’s novel, a comedy-adventure that never quite finds its tone." | ||||
"8- to 12-year-olds will have a good time, and you'll have a good time watching them have a good time." | ||||
"This is a smug, lumbering affair featuring the first bad performance Jodie Foster has ever given." | ||||
"Smarter than it sounds and carried by a very funny performance by Foster, this is a kids' movie that's bearable for adults too (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" |
