Spiderwick Chronicles

Grade: B

Review: The beginning of the movie was slow-paced, nothing exciting really happened. It is a real boy-ish kid movie, and we're not sure how true it was to the book. (Readers out there, send us a comment on what you think!) The basic idea was that there were creatures co-existing with the human race. A boy stumbles upon a book which reveals secrets of the creatures. He becomes able to see the creatures around him and a mystery of the author forms around him and his sister, along with a his twin and a friendly creature that helps them along the way. Some creatures are evil, while some are kind. I feel the movie did not spark our interest, but it would be an interesting fanstasy-fiction movie for younger children.

Summary: A younger child's type of movie, fantasy-fiction, not great but not terrible, something to watch if you have nothing much to do.

Rating: PG
