I gotta say the 5.3 on imdb is terribly unfortunate. Maybe I just have an infantile sense of humor, but I giggled and chuckled my waythrough the movie. The cast was very likeable as well. Add to that the little anachronistic characterisation of Britain and its whimsical inhabitants, a fairly uplifting kind of romping soundtrack, and you got yourself a solid kids' movie that can be enjoyed by adults as well. Little side note regarding the humor: It is all over the place and silly as can be. Not everything that's shot at you sticks, but when it does, it really does ! I laughed out loud at least thrice (and I use the word "thrice"!) which is rare for me in these days. I just feel like I've seen it all when it comes to comedy, which may be why the very different style at display here just got to me. What can I say, it was a benign, jolly, and really quite fun experience that lifted my spirits in that wanting- to -skip- down- the- stairs- whistling kind of way.
