The setup: A cowardly boy who buries himself in accident statistics enters a library to escape a storm only to be transformed into an animated illustration by the Pagemaster. He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real life.
The verdict: It solidified the comeback for Culkin as a unique presence in American cinema. Yes, this does remind me a lot of Dragon's Den. In some ways it is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in years. Some of the dialog could be better. The story is well told and gives you a good idea of how Culkin becomes the hero. My only problem with the film was the supporting cast, but it's still okay.
