A rebarbative mess - mirthless and shoddy like a disposable Christmas stocking novelty. Go to Full Review

That Harry Potter magic proves decidedly elusive in this chintzy British children's fantasy. Go to Full Review

2/5
Molly Moon follows all of the beats of the genre in an unapologetic manner, but what transpires is a film that feels more like an elongated episode of a programme on CBBC, which really, is where this project is more likely to have found its home. Go to Full Review

It's corny, but it also represents an ideal fantasy fulfilment for preteen girls. Go to Full Review

Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 08/30/2024 It follows the familiar kids movie tropes but it doesn’t do anything new with them See more 08/27/2019 I thought this is a great kids movie, fast moving with a little bit of magic, not going to win any oscars but a real easy watch with a good message. See more 08/24/2019 Really fun feel good movie with some funny bits for grown ups too! See more 08/10/2018 Nothing like the book so bad I could puke. All the surprises and plot twists taken out. In addition, it is completely inaccurate. See more 11/04/2017 A quick way to be famous does not go well. It was based on the children's novel of the same name. Purely a children's film. That's why I find it average. The concept was too silly. Particularly, there are a few scenes that do not make sense to the grownups. Even for hypnotism concept they used in the story. So don't accuse it if you did not enjoy it. Other than that, the direction, actors, settings, musics were nice. This is the story of orphan kids. In the rural England, no one has adopted them yet. Like orphanage kids from other films, this tale was too built with their struggles against the odds. Their caretakers are not so nice to them, especially the chief in charge. The kids too have divided and one of the gang decides to participate in a talent show. When that fails, drastically everything changes since then. In meantime a mystery book lands in one of their hands. With the help of it, an undreamt adventure begins. It should have been a television film. Not because the production quality is poor or something, but the story, how it was narrated fits perfectly for small screen. Otherwise, a series would have been a nice idea. A fictional story, and took place at the corner of the Christmas, as well as released on the same season a couple of year ago. I don't think the second film would make it. But possible as a television feature. Not worth, but watching it with kids could do justice. 5/10 See more 08/27/2017 entertaining family movie that tells a good story See more Read all reviews
