Advantages: Great Adventure Story Disadvantages: A bit advanced for my 4 year old
I decided it was time to treat myself to a new book from the library and had to take my two little boys with me, my 4 year old really wanted to choose a few books for himself while we were there and as the service is free I thought why not?

The real plus points of the film are the script and the two central performances from Wilson and Murphy. I have been fan of Owen Wilson since his great comic performance (and writing credit) in the Royal Tenenbaums. He gives ...

Advantages: great entertaining movie Disadvantages: none
tacky?.just right.
And with Eddie Murphy being his usually comical self this is one movie that you need to see, even if it's just the once.
I enjoyed watching this movie and found it more comical than scary, (if that was the writers intentions it worked well).
A good film for all the family. ...
