I was prepared to be board to death or outraged.
When a Children's book is turned into a big screen feature it is usually transformed into either a long bore fest or a Violent movie with inappropriate language.
Since I wasn't paying to see the movie (I was with two of my charges at the time) I decided to go and see it this morning. I was really entertained. It was cute and funny (as a children's movie should be) without horrible violence.
I recommend this Movie for anyone 3 and up.
I give it

three smileys.
Don't miss this charming family friendly movie.
We saw it at White Flint Mall on Rockville Pike it was only(AM ticket prices) $5.00 a ticket.
