- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A sweet, family-friendly retelling of a touching and funny Newbery Award-winning children's book."
-
"Only mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids"
-
"Tries hard to be sweet but plays like 'Pollyanna' with fleas"
-
"The problem is that director Wayne Wang seems deaf to the tonal differences between coming-of-age, magic realism and children's comedy."
