This is only the second time in my life I cried over a spider. The first time was when I was a child and I accidentally stepped on a pet spider I had captured. This is an exceptional family movie.

Consensus: Kids will be entertained by the straightforward plot and cute animals, and adults will be charmed by how quiet and humble the production is, a fine translation of E.B. White’s genteel prose.
Theatrical Release:2006
Box Office: $82,506,325
Synopsis: Gary Winick (THIRTEEN GOING ON 30) had a lot to live up to in remaking a beloved children's movie, itself based on the classic novel by E. B. White, but this 2006 live-action version more than... [More]

Reviews for Charlotte's Web
Charlotte herself has been turned from a small, grey spider into a creature with a furry, teddy bear face. The result is an odd blend of Wilfred Brimley, Grizzly Adams, and Fozzie Bear.

Uma adaptação burocrática e sem vida.

Babe, the movie that set the standard for the GCI talking critter flicks, was so much better ...

Some movie.

Don't be put off by the G rating. I know a lot of adults who could learn from a talking pig.

I think what's most valuable here is the gentle reminder that lives are short, friendship is priceless and words can make a difference. The movie Charlotte's Web isn't a classic, but the message is.
12/30/06
There's too much talent and too strong a story to mess it up. There was potential for more here, but this incarnation is nothing to be ashamed of, and some of the actors answer the bell.

Top CriticThere are highly unnecessary fart jokes (okay, we all know kids get a giggle out of passing gas, but does every child-centric movie have to cater to this whim?), and some of the expanded animal characters don't have much point.
12/30/06
What Charlotte's Web has always had going for it, and what I imagine kids will always cling to, is a sweet, simple, and timeless story about the power of friendship and the acceptance of loss, a story that’s told faithfully here.
12/30/06
The writers and director get the balance right, never tipping over into either sentiment or preachiness.
12/30/06
Woe be to the child who doesn't mist up at this movie, since it's been made if not with zip, wit, or imagination, then at least with sweetness. But I hope no one will think the film is an adequate replacement for White's book. That would be a crime.

Top CriticDespite all of Winick's best efforts to Disneyfy the bearded Charlotte, she still looks alarmingly like an eight-legged beatnik.
12/26/06
Plenty charming and the theme of friendship and loyalty is beautifully illustrated.
12/26/06
while not a perfect adaptation of the classic book, one that pulls all the right heartstrings while never talking down to its audience
12/25/06
Works better in the more mature passages ... than those focusing on slapdash antics.
12/23/06
A lackluster live-action remake of E.B. White's classic children's tale.
12/22/06
Just a nice sweet family flick, exceedingly well-made and surprisingly witty.
12/22/06
When Fern at last abandons her overalls for a pretty yellow dress, her mom feels reassured. But really, tomboys can be mature too.
