I'm going to have to disagree with Bwind on this one. I found it charming and affecting. The kids were entranced by the story and the wife cried. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was an uplifting tale set in a very real world that I found quite entertaining. There was the one musical montage while painting the house that made me cringe, but it really was the only cringy moment for me.

It's not Narnia. It's not Harry Potter and it's not Lord of the Rings. And no, it's not even Pixar or Disney animation. Yet, its one of the sweetest, most meaningful movies about kids and their world. More importantly, there's no mumbo-jumbo about magic, monsters and witchcraft. The monsters are there, the wizards are there, the magical world is there, but it's all born out of the natural imagination that kids possess in varying degrees.

The movie pointedly makes a plea to adults to allow their kids to 'open up their minds' instead of cramming them, regimenting them and brain-washing them. Plus, there's a beautiful tale of teen bonding and friendship that carries the movie through...

Welcome to the real world of real pre-adolescents. Jess is a lonely, introverted fifth-grader who fights off his alienation through colours and sketches. Bogged down by his parents' economic hardships and the regular school bullies, he mopes his way until Leslie, the new girl, arrives in school. Leslie opens up a whole new world for him and teaches him the importance of 'connecting' with family, friends, the inner self and the fantasy world.

Take the kids for this movie and let it wash over your and their hearts. They ll love it. And so will you.

Recommended.
