When Mo Folchart reads a story, the characters leap off the page. Literally. And that's a problem. Mo must somehow use his special powers to send the interlopers back to their world, and save ours. If ever a task was easier read than done, this is it. Mo and his daughter Meggi, aided by friends real and fictional, plunge into a thrilling quest that pits them against diabolical villains, fantastic beast and dangers at every turn.
Brendan Fraser leads a splendid cast (including Academy Award winners Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent) in an all fun, all family film of Cornelia Funke's best seller. Follow Mo and Meggie into adventure more exciting than any ever read. Because it's an adventure they're going to live.

I saw this on the shelf at the DVD store and thought that I would rent it. It looked good enough that my husband and I would enjoy it, and that my son who was 3 at the time would gain some amusement out of it as well. It promptly got added to our DVD collection at home.
The only thing that I did not like about the film was the ending as to me it felt like it fell a bit flat and was a bit rushed, but all in all it was still a very good movie. Yes, it can be predictable, but I find that with 90% of the movies I watch these days. But the acting is superb, and the characters are ones that you are rooting for the whole time. Love the concept and thoroughly enjoyed the film.

I had no idea what to expect when I hired this movie, except that generally I like films with Brendan Fraser and even more generally, I tend to like fantasy. This was the story of a guy who, whenever he read a book aloud, would cause something from that world to materialize in ours. Only catch is, something from our world gets sent into the fictional world in return.
I enjoyed the concept and found the overall story enjoyable, if a little predictable. I could sense that it was sort of glossing over parts which probably had a lot more depth and intrigue in the book. Still, I loved the young thief boy, Farid, and I thought that Andy Serkis' evil villain character was amusing.
All in all, a good family film which has me eager to read the books and find out what I've missed.
